Cheers John I had worked that out but just having trouble as his name doesn’t seem to match his service number looking online although maybe I need to sign up to a proper search website thanks tho

As you say. Could you possibly photo the label that gives the name and number. There could be scope for interpretation perhaps?

Thanks is it pretty common to get this sort of situation where they don’t really lead to anything ?

Here the problem seems to be that RAF service number 266635 was issued to someone called Miller not Moore.

Ye that’s what I found really frustrating I’m not clued up on how it worked with numbers but I presume they usually kept the same number throughout there whole career 

would it have maybe been when it transitioned from rfc either back to army or raf
