What do you mean by listings? If you mean a list of all served in RAF during their NS then there aren't any in the public domain, unless they became officers, in which case you could look through the London Gazette, or  ask RAF Hendon for a lookup in the RAF List for the appropriate period.

A couple of avenues you could follow would be here  http://www.seniorsnetwork.co.uk/forces/nsrafa/, or consider looking at some of the ex services sites of which there are a number. I can pm you a few if you want to look into them, they do require you to become a member ans some need a subscription before you can post or contact existing members.

I am a member of a couple so if you have a specifice inquiry let me know and I'll see what I can do.

That's interesting, I also did my basic training at Padgate 1955/56.

On the Picture it says > No 1 Flight "A" Squadron   1 RT Wing RAF Padgate, picture was taken in may 1952.
 He was then Posted to Pembroke Dock. He still keeps in touch with the guys he was at Pembroke Dock with, they have a re-union each Year.
  I have tried to send you a pic, Dad is the one far left, out on his own .
