    Welcome to the British-Genealogy forums
    If you came to us from Forces War Records reading this will explain the connection.
    You can find out about your father's war service by applying to the MoD for his service record. This 'sticky' explains and gives the link where you can download the application forms, You will need 30 pound, a copy of his death certificate and provide his birth date. It is not necessary for the applicant to give the regiment or service number if they have the details I have given.

    Hello

    If he trained at Netheravon he would have been in the RAF Police.
    As Christina said you can apply for his service records from the RAF here

    As I'm am ex RAF Police I know there is a number of Facebook groups there may be someone on there who remember your father
