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.

My memory is hazy, but wasn't section 40, "Conduct to the predjudice" ?

"Conduct to the predjudice" |
Which has a certain "je ne sais quoi" all of its own

Odd that there seems to be no log book after that |
In 1955 Section 40 was "Falsely obtaining or prolonging leave"

Cheers for that.
I did say that my memory was hazy...it's been about 50 years since I had to apply the law in that area. :ok: |
My thanks to all of you for the clarification. The electrons were barely dry on the e-mail to the Air Historical Branch before your useful replies.
