Hi all, only just come across this thread but I have a lot of information I can supply.
My father was an Insructor on Oxfords at RAF Kumalo from 1942 to 1944, having been posted there after spending 7 months in Hospital in Cairo after being shot down while flying a Blenheim from Palestine.
A few weeks ago my brother found his old logbooks in a box of our mother's possessions so I have details of many of the people involved both students and some instructors and groundcrew. In addition details of all their aircraft over that period.
I also have logbooks from 1935 when he started as a cadet flying Cadets through to 1954 when he was an air traffic controller.
