RAF Service Record - help needed to interpret.

[Anthony Pigott]

Hello

 

I wonder if anyone could explain the exact meaning of the entries in this service record. Many thanks for any help.

I presume your question is about the different initials in the Units columns ?

 

This page from airhistory.org is a very helpful starter

Thanks for that. It's very useful

 

I've now got:

 

From	To
	Cadet Distribution Depot	11/5/18
Cadet Distribution Depot		4/8/18
8 Cadet Wing	R.D. “G” Section	16/8/18
Recruits T.W	Reinforcements Wing	26/11/18
Reinforcements Wing	Rec: Wing	7/12/18

 

So, is 'Recruits T.W' 'Recruits Training Wing' and what's 'Rec. Wing' and.'R. D. "G" Section'?

Yes to Recruits Training Wing and I think the same for Rec Wing, but  ??? to RD G Section.

 

My guess is Repair Depot General Section but it is a guess.
