Pointers to Research
I have recently discovered that a relative of mine while serving on 462 Sqn RAAF,was killed in Tripoli, on or about 20 April 1943, possibly when a bomb loading operation went wrong.
I have a couple of queries that I would like to resolve and wondered if anyone on the forum would be able to steer me in the right direction.
My Uncle was British and joined the Royal Air Force in 1940, but was listed on his service record as being on the strength of a RAAF Sqn at the time of his death. Was this a common occurence?
Has anyone got any experience of researching F540s at the Public Record Office? Would 462 Sqn have lodged F540s with UK archives, given evidence I have seen that it seems to have been Australian in name only?
Any clues or advice pointing me in the right direction gratefully received. Thanks in Advance!
