Help Needed With Grandad's Form 543

[xanthein]

Hello everyone. I've recently started a project I've been meaning to look at for a long while, which is my grandfather's WW2 service history. I have a colour photocopy of his form 543, but there are some parts on there I either cannot decipher or find answers for online.

Can anyone please help me?


Many thanks

Alan

Hi there,

Thanks for the replies.

You are correct. He was an instrument fitter in the RAF. He worked on Wellington III's & Lancaster Mark II's at 115 Squadron, and on Sunderlands in Coastal Command. Most of his training courses were at 12 School of Technical Training, which the internet tells me was at RAF Melksham.
