World War Two / RAF Records
« on: Wednesday 05 February 20 13:42 GMT (UK) »
Good Afternoon,
I sent for my late fathers RAF records and am more than confused. Dad was RAFVR, served from 1941 at the age of 20. As a civilian he was a driver so was attached to 7MTC. I know he was driving HGV boxed aircraft around the UK bases, was stationed at RAF Pembrey, Cardiff Aerodrome, Biggin Hill to name just a few. Looking at his records it mentions not only 7MTC but Balloon Command and a few others. Was it normal for drivers to be sent to other types of service. I did google 7MTC could find nothing, any help would be much appreciated.
