	World War 2 service records and after are not in the public domain so nothing online, these records are still held by the authorities and have to be applied for. See links for details of how and whom can apply, but be aware these records can cost £30-00 and can take 9 months to obtain them. https://www.gov.uk/requests-for-personal-data-and-service-records http://www.veterans-uk.info/service_records/raf.html George
