I have recently received my father's WW2 records.
Could someone tell me which squadrons/sections/ airfields "10 S FLT" and RAF YR (orVR) are? They are under the "Unit from" column.
Thanks
Buddy

RAF VR = Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve
When was the 10 S Flt entered, at the beginning of his service?
FLT = flightNeil

Thanks Neil. It was after a few months:
RAF VR - Oxford TC
Oxford TC - Feltwell
Feltwell - 51 S Flt and 10 S Flt
and plenty more.

Hi Buddy,
I have also obtained my father's WW2 RAF records. I found that most of it was in "code" although it did come with 4 pages of abbreviations which were only slightly helpful.
I wrote to the RAF -- the address was on the covering letter which accompanied the records -- and asked for information about all the abbreviations I didn't understand or couldn't decode.
They provided me with 3 pages of chapter and verse about all of them which was a great help.
It's worth asking the RAF for further information. In my case I found it well worth the cost of a stamp.
All the best,
