And I thought I had done the confirming bit with the service number. I shall give it some thought before proceeding any further.
Having seen mention of the DDS card in this thread, I looked at their website and decided that for £4.99 for five years, it might well be worth a few minutes of my time to register. Entered my service number, then scanned/uploaded a .pdf copy of my RAF 'Certificate of Discharge' and paid the £4.95. Shortly afterwards an email arrived informing me that my membership had been approved. Presumably the actual card will arrive in the not too distant future...
First time I have bothered with anything regarding being ex-RAF - no Veterans badge etc.
