Manning and Records do not require you to tell them the unit(s) he was with when applying for service records. All they require is as follows:

Full Name
Date of Birth and or Army Service Number
Proof of Death
Next of Kin approval
   thanks I have posted the form with those details

Anti-aircraft and searchlights almost certainly means your father was in the Royal Artillery - a vast organisation during WW2.  If he was not directly involved in guns and lights he might have been in REME who dealt with technical matters.  I would tell the people at Glasgow 'Royal Artillery' and cross your fingers!

   thanks I will try and do that ,,,,
