Hi. I am looking for some info about my Grandads RAF career during WW2. I would love to send off for his war records but do not have any info about his rank etc which I believe you need in order to contact the MOD. I have some photos of him based at RAF Weeton which I believe was near Blackpool. I think this is where he would have undertook basic training? I have been told he was a rear gunner in a Lancaster bomber? One of the photos is of my Grandad 'John Terence Mckeown' stood along side 24 other men all wearing RAF uniforms (he would be about twenty years old), on the back of photo is written 'Weeton, Hut W3 13/01/1942, Home of Binds' Not sure what the last part means? I have a copy of his death certificate which I know you need as proof but thats about it. Can anyone guide me to what my next step should be to be able to send off for his military records.
Many thanks
Darren
