Re: Admin. Observations

Thanks for the responses. I must reiterate that your time in running and administering the site is very much appreciated. I know it is not easy, especially when you are doing it in your spare time. However, I am still puzzled as to why my partner, who applied for membership at least two weeks ago, h...

Admin. Observations

I just thought I would log this matter, not as a criticism, but as an observation, as it may be affecting other people's ability to join or access the forum. I recently had a password problem (due to a newly loaded password generator) which resulted in me being locked out of the forum. I tried numer...

Re: Sgt Kenneth Austen Thomas, pilot. Help please

You could try downloading the following file http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C4005964 to see if you can find his service number, but be warned, it is a huge file and he could be listed as Kenneth Austen Thomas, K Thomas, KA Thomas or any other combination. You can also view the fi...

Re: Dennis Over

Max It was a while ago now since I floated the idea, and I think I did get a response of some kind (but I can't locate it as I lost all my e-mails in a PC crash), but there has certainly been no activity in making it happen. I did actually contact the administrator on another forum to see if he coul...

Re: Dennis Over

I have also contacted Larry to see if the content could be made available, possibly as an archive which could be accessed through a forum such as this. As I am not a techie, I do not know how practical this is ..... but I too miss the valuable content that was there. I hope we can find a solution, b...

Re: Link Trainer

I think the F may relate to Familiarisation but I don't know what the P stands for (Preparation??? as a thought) If the instructor manual (as offered above) does not provide the answers you need on the exercises, please e-mail me and I will dig out my Link Trainer file and see if I can answer your q...

Re: Air Gunner

Shaun That sounds like his service record. I don't think he would have been posted to 95 Squadron after 31 Base etc as they were not part of Bomber Command, so I think there must be a transcription error somewhere. I am not sure if you can add images to this forum, but if you can, I would suggest th...

Re: Air Gunner

Shaun Is the information that you are providing coming from his service record, his flying log book, his release book or from another source? His service number is in the range that was allocated to Oxford, so that will be where he enlisted. As you are probably aware, he underwent his heavy conversi...
