The MOD only require one of the following -

Date of Birth or Service Number. Both helps but one or the other is all you need.

Perhaps you could drop RAF Records a line explaining that. :)

It does state that on the application form - Perhaps the RAF are making the rules up as they go along in their posh accommodation, with posh food and the best disco in town .....Nothing new there ;)

You may have a point. Perhaps we caught them on a bad day! Anyway, the smile on my wife's face when I eventually presented the records to her was worth the wait. Even happier when I then gave her his medals.
