RAF - how can I locate cousin?
« on: Saturday 09 June 18 14:53 BST (UK) »
Hi - I have a cousin, born 1944 who joined the RAF in 1962.  All I have is a letter with an address in 2003 and they have since moved.  He wrote to my Aunt who recently passed away aged 93 about gaining information on our family tree.  I have lots of info to pass on.

Does anyone know how I can find him through the RAF with only an old address to go on?

You can't go through the RAF to find him. He's in his 70s, well past the age for serving. Have you tried electoral rolls. Find My Past have some.
