    Hello lynn71,

    Welcome to British-Genealogy.

    I presume your uncle is deceased because otherwise you'd be able to ask him. If he's been dead for more then twenty-five years then you can apply to the MoD for a copy of his service records. (Send a copy of his death certificate and £30.)
    If he's been dead for less than twenty-five years unless you get permission from his next of kin to apply for the records, then you can only receive limited details of his service. Though as 'regiment/corps' (which presumably would mean squadron in RAF terms) is included in those details then you may be lucky. You need to note that not everyone's records can be found, and be prepared for a long wait for a reply.
    See here.

    Alternatively, it might be worth posting his name and any other relevant details you might know about him (e.g. where he lived) in the RAF section on Forces Reunited.
