Help with AIR79 abbreviations


Errol Martyn

Recommended Posts

Seeking assistance with abbreviations for this RNAS/RAF man's AIR79, in particular the meaning of 'MTD', and 'H&C Works' which also appears in full on line 4 but is not fully legible. Also whereabouts was the 'Works' located? He was a Chief Mechanic and Driver (Motor Boat) as at 1 Apr 18.

 

TIA,

Errol

Could the MTD be Mechanical Transport Depot, presumably at RNAS Sandbanks?

 

Regards

There was a Training Detachment at North Haven, Sandbanks, Poole, in 1918 and so possibly 'Marine Training Detachment'

 

RNAS Sandbanks was not commissioned until 1940

Many thanks Andrew for an almost watertight answer!

Cheers,
