horatio2 Posted 1 April , 2007 Share Posted 1 April , 2007 The RNR ratings' Record Cards have been filmed and are available at the NA but NOT on-line. The original cards are now held at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, where photocopies (usually better) may be obtained. Use whichever is most convenient to you.
