I would go for the stamp being ACSEA = Air Command South East Asia.

There is a similar career path explored in an old thread here http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/showthread.php?18237-Researching-my-father-s-RAF-record-Michael-O-Keefe-1797664

Although in the link for the historical society you posted they didn’t talk or mention the squadrons I’m looking for; that was an extremely interesting read. And I feel it’s given me a greater understanding of the role. Thank you for sharing that, it was very helpful and interesting I enjoyed reading it.

And yes I think it may be south east Asia aswell. I’m hoping to try find out where exactly.
