Court Martial Records
Court Martial Records
Could anyone help me with advice on where I might find records of RAF courts martial in the mid-1950s please. Briefly, I was based at a small SU on the east coast of Scotland in 1957-8 and was contacted recently by someone who had bought the long-disused bunker and guardhouse. He copied to me the unit’s log book, located at the PRO at Kew, which ends immediately after an entry referring to the convening of a court martial and naming the officer concerned. Odd that there seems to be no log book after that.
It was a very small unit when I was there and I heard nothing about the incident at the time.

Harry, belated thanks for that steer. The relevant CM details now located from Kew and all we need now is some idea what sort of offence a '40' in the Miscellaneous column implies. I hope the Air Historical Branch can help there.

In 1955 Section 40 was "Falsely obtaining or prolonging leave"
