Hello Flushed with success from a recent WW1 RFC/RAF search I am hoping somebody may know something about my 3 uncles who served in WW2. I know very little about searching RAF personnel. I'm hoping to find as much as possible such as training, postings, missions etc. 1) Geoffrey William Thomas. D.O.B. 26/09/19. Sadly I have no service number. I know he was ground crew and post war was an electrician. I know he served in Holland at some point but virtually nothing else. His medals are the 39-45 star, the France and Germany star, war medal and defence medal. 2) Kenneth Austin Thomas. D.O.B. 1/03/16. Again I don't have his number. Ken was a pilot of both Wellingtons and Lancasters. I think he may have trained in Canada and possibly received his wings in 1943. Beyond this I have nothing other than a grainy photo of him and his crew in front of a Lancaster. His belongings recently passed out of the family and I have no means of access. I've know details of his medal entitlement. 3) ACI. William James Thomas. 1659653. D.O.B. 19/03/06. After the war he worked on the railways. He was stationed in Canada and from a telegram his address was block room j18c RAF station Chtown(?). His medals are the war medal and defence medal. All 3 of them came from Levenshulme, Manchester. One of them attended the 1945 Christmas Dinner for the HQ Transport Command at Bushey Park as I have the menu. Information or explanations of where I can find more about them would be excellent. Thanks Simon
Simon, "RAF station Chtown" was RAF Charlottetown in Prince Edward Island. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCAF_Station_Charlottetown
Hello Thanks for the information regarding Charlottetown. The only thing I'm certain of about my uncle's time there was he worked the projector in the camp cinema! I'm sure he must have been there for other reasons and am looking forward to finding out. Thanks Simon
UPDATE Ken Thomas's pilot training apparently took place in Manitoba if that helps narrow things down. He managed to meet his brother Jim whilst stationed there though Jim was stationed at Charlottetown.
