 | 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? |

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

 | '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!
