I've not seen this site before. Are others aware of it?

I've not dug any deeper yet to see if there are other ORBs, but it was a pleasant find that's helped me establish two postings for a man about whom I knew very little.

It's extremely useful, and does indeed lots of other R.C.A.F. unit records:

It has been mentioned on here before, and there's even an index been posted:

Thats an amzing effort they are making there!

Note that you can use google to search within the PDF for terms using the format

R210619 site:airmuseum.ca/BCATPsearch/

The example gives you an airman with that serial number, its worth noting you find him if you leave in or out the R since the . or / between letter and number gets ignored
R210619 site:airmuseum.ca/BCATPsearch/
R/210619 site:airmuseum.ca/BCATPsearch/
210619 site:airmuseum.ca/BCATPsearch/

All find the same result. Handy

All find that man entry (if he is mentioned, and many, many 1000's are not.
