WW2 AIRCREW DEPARTURES

My Dad (Gwyn "Snowy" Jenkins) aged 95 has been diagnosed with lung cancer. I would like him to have some recognition for his service in the RAF:

1939-1940 - 151 Sqn airframe fitter, bombed out of North Weald, moved to Stapleford Tawney
1940-1941 - 51 Sqn airframe fitter, Wyton
1941 - early 1944 - airframe fitter, Prince Edward Island Canada (why would you leave!!!!)
mid 1944 - early 1945 - 158 sqn Halifax III flight engineer (36 ops, 10 ops on Friday 13th)
early 1945 - mid 1945 - 158 sqn Stirling V flight engineer UK - Karachi

mid 1945 - retirement - supporting society as a teacher.

Any advice on getting support (not financial) for funeral from RAFA etc apppreciated
