Errol Martyn Posted 7 May , 2022 Share Posted 7 May , 2022 Would anyone here be able to say what the three letter abbreviation stands for in this extract from the AIR76 for pilot Brian Bertie Lemon, who went on leave from 40 Sqn on 24 Jun 17 but never returned, instead undergoing a series of Medical Boards in England until declared Permanently Unfit as Pilot or Observer on 21 Jan 18 and on 7 Feb 18 was posted to this School of ??? on 7 Feb 18.

topgun1918 Posted 7 May , 2022 Share Posted 7 May , 2022 Hi Errol I hate that old script, the letters look nothing like their modern equivalents. In this case, it's No 2 School of Military Aviation. Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errol Martyn Posted 7 May , 2022 Author Share Posted 7 May , 2022 Thanks Graeme, but I'm not convinced that that's what the letters stand for. Anyone else have an opinion as to what they stand for? Cheers, Errol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 7 May , 2022 Share Posted 7 May , 2022 I'd read it was 2 Sch of MA There was a #2 School of Military Aeronautics at Oxford. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgun1918 Posted 7 May , 2022 Share Posted 7 May , 2022 My bad, it was School of Military Aeronautics not Military Aviation. Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quemerford Posted 7 May , 2022 Share Posted 7 May , 2022 I did a double-take at "2 Sch of MA", but once you get your eye in, that is indeed what it says. Mind you I did think it read, "2 Sch of HEQ" first time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errol Martyn Posted 7 May , 2022 Author Share Posted 7 May , 2022 Many thanks Gents, Some AIR76 record keepers have a lot to answer for! Cheers, Errol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
