hi i am trying to find details regarding my father in laws RAF unit that was in India during partition it was RAf 305 MAINTENANCE UNIT in Bombay but was also in Lahore I think he said that the unit came from RAF Barton Hall and i dont know about going but coming back he returned via ship, although he didnt say which one. any information and or pictures would be greatly appreciated, he often spoke of his time in India which he loved thanks
Hi. Wiki page here: List of Royal Air Force Maintenance units - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 305 MU has no information listed but that might just mean no-one has added anything for it yet. Barton Hall was the 9 Group HQ so there would have been a great deal of activity there, possibly aircraft storage and maintenance. Best way forward is probably to apply for his service record: Page not found Good luck!
