    Welcome to British-Genealogy

    Unfortunately the only way you can find his personal service record is to apply for it from the MOD. There is nothing online. This sticky tells you where to apply. The other bad news is that there will be a long wait for them especially now with the added interest at this time.

    The National Archives site may be able to help with general information regarding his service. See this page

    The service record applications talk about "obtaining information about yourself". The person with power of attorney should be able to apply on his behalf..

    In the meantime the Air Force Lists are available and see this Research Guide for information on the Confidential Air Force List.

    Also see these research guides on Squadrons and Operations
