    That name and number do not come up on the London Gazette which only means she was never commissioned. She did not have a middle name. If she was from Kidderminster then she was married more than once.

    Clive's advice is the way forward.

    Many thanks for that it’s seems strange coz I’ve ran the name through forces record and the name is right and so was the service number

    I'm not disputing her name or her service number. I don't use that site you mention so I went to the source which, in this case, is AIR78 at Kew. As she was never commissioned her number won't show up on the London Gazette. No commission and no gong and you sadly leave a very narrow trail, one that can't be followed without obtaining your subject's service file.
