 | R.A.F. Abbreviations
It seems almost everyone has troubles with abbreviations. In researching my father's R.A.F. log books when at B&G School (Bombing and Gunnery) he made the following entries that I need help with. FRBT, FRUT, FRRS, FRQT Any suggestions? |

'allo, been looking at http://www.worldwar2exraf.co.uk/acronyms%20DF.htm (assume you've seen it) none of your acronyms are actually on there but if your dad was at a school could they be combined acronyms? e.g. FRS - flying refresher school, (FR in there as fighter recconnaisance) RS - Radio School (No.10 Carew Cheriton)/Reserve School/Reserve Squadron - Royal Signals FRRS - Flying Refresher at Reserve School?? or even Fighter Recconaiscance Reserve Squadron??? (though you say he was in bombers so seems less possible) I only suggest this because you mentioned he was in training, s'pose context is everything when trying to translate an acronym..  good luck!
