Hi Lyneham Lad,
I assume "er umm ahh" suggests that you can't remember. I can identify with that as the only way I can remember is from an old letter that I sent to my parents. I lost all my other information when it was destroyed at Changi.
A 48th entry rigger, I suppose that puts you at St. Athan to arriving January 1963 - a month after I left - possibly A or B flt. 1 Sqn. in the service number band ".19491.." if my entry is anything to go by.
The 43rd Service numbers I have assumed went from ".1944001" to about ".1944270" -ish so I also assume other entries were the same. I have not established though where Hereford and Cosford last 3's started. Maybe 300 to 600 for one station and 601 to 900 for the other but which was which? Perhaps someone will let me know?
Thanks for your response so far.
Don
