RAF Transit Personnel 22 PTC?

[kelly]

Whilst looking through some of my father's old papers, I recently found this menu from 1945 which mentions RAF Transit Personnel 22 PTC and wondered what 'PTC' meant.  Hoping that someone can help 

I know that my father was in Aden at the end of WW2 and that he didn't return home until the spring of 1946.  Many thanks

Hi Ev

Many thanks for that information 
Thinking back, I do remember my father telling me that, after Aden, they were in Egypt for a little while on their journey home.


Best wishes

Hi,
I have a letter from my father to my mother, from March 1946, so the place was obviously still in full swing in 1946. He has called it El Maya but it is obviously actually Al Maza. He was in a mobile unit waiting to be sent into Palestine where they were to set up a chain of GEE stations. They had been in other transit camps after getting off the troopship at Port Said.
I hope this is of interest. I LOVE the menu - from only a few months before my dad was there.

Hi Nina
Apologies for the delay in replying - I have been out of the country for a couple of months and am only just catching up on messages etc.!
Thanks for posting the picture - it's great that we still have this documentation of our family history isn't it?
