T.T.+G.???
 

Question for the mil historians here. I'm doing some research on behalf of a family friend who is tracing the life of a relative who flew bombers in WW2.
However, he can't decifer what No. 1484 T.T.+G refers do - a course done before the individual started on Lancasters in 1943.
Anybody got any clue as to what this was?
Many thanks

Target Towing and Gunnery Flight. They were numbered in the 1234 range.

Many thanks suit!

Thought the dates/types might help give some insight. I'm glad to say that I had to look all of this up!

Thanks for all the info, I know it will be greatly appreciated!!

Thankyou also.
I have my Grandfathers logbook - Lancaster tail gunner - and the above clears up a few items.
Makes good reading considering the numbers of Ops he did would have shamed the "Memphis Belle" several times over.
