Raf Service number for William Milne

[IanMac67]

I am trying to trace my late grandfather's service records from WW2  but unfortunately there's no service number.
What I do know is that he was a leading aircraftman and was a joiner/carpenter to trade and was at one point stationed at Raf Colinsburgh. Any help would be much appreciated.

Not sure if this helps - but have found service numbers for two W Milne's who were leading aircraftmen

 W J  Milne  1342161  Leading Aircraftman  1945  159 Maintenance Unit   

 W Milne     1003682   Leading Aircraftman 1946 324 Wing

I guess we now need to know if 159 Maintenance Unit or 324 Wing were based at Colinsburgh in 1945/6!

Cheers

Welcome to RootsChat!

If you apply to the MOD for his Service Records, the service number isn't mandatory!
You can apply with his date of birth, a copy of his death certificate, and the usual fee of £30.

Thank you for both replies and will look into requesting his records from the MOD.
