My dad had three different RAF services numbers.
(1) When enlisting at Padgate in 1939.
(2) When Commissioned.
(3) When transferring to the Aux Air Force in 1947 -- a number he retained when he returned to the active list in 1951 and after retirement as a VR(T).
If he was commissioned in WWII he would have been issued a new number.
