Hi Stephen Laing.
I suspect that it is a Royal Air Force uniform, he has on his left hand sleeve of his jacket the trade badge of a leading aircraftman.
Regards Dave.

Dave and Carol are right.  He is also wearing a good conduct stripe which represented 3 years "undiscovered crime" in the 1940s.

I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
