Cliff - one question on Harrogate. Did all the men stay at the Majestic Hotel or would some be billeted with nearby families?
RMVENTURI Not sure, but I think all airmen were billeted at the Majestic Hotel I can remember men being bileted out at Heaton Park, but not at Harrogate.
With reference to the rank of W/O (R.A.F) In my pay book is an entry T.W/O. Think T represents temporary, as all wartime non regular ranks were called ,'War substantive'
As usual. Given with all good faith, but not guarantee
