RAF officers records

[Walter Lindekens]

A good friend of mine in the UK sent me a newspaper clipping dated 11.11.09 and which reads:

"WE'RE AIR AT LAST

The war records of 99.000 RAF officers go online today for the first time on the National Archives website."

Well I checked that website earlier today and can't seem to find anything new, reference still being made to the fact that those records are held by the RAF.

Can any of you shed a little more light on this please?

Cheers,
Walter

Hi Walter,

I think this refers to Officers' Service Records from AIR 76 (1918-19):-

Hope this helps,

Thanks Jeff,

I figured it were the WWI records that were being referred to. Guess it'll take some more years before we get the WWII ones on line!

Best rgds,
Walter
