Looking through my Father's RASC collection of stuff from WW2, there is a Christmas Menu from 17 BSD with sub units listed as Port Detachments: No5, 6 and 18. I have done a search under RASC/RAOC threads listed here with nothing found! Can anyone pinpoint where 17 BSD was located? I suspect UK! With 3 Port Units enjoying the menu, I presume they were close by? Thanks Alan

Thanks for the NA ref. Maybe time to first get Dad' Service Record, then see what else is not known! Alan
