You might just try Channel 4 Teletext page 152 'Servicepals' I have used these facilities a number of times and have had much success including an entry last week where I had a dozen replies

Thank you both Harry and John.
Was thinking non stop of the reunion...hope it all went well. I was apprehensive of approaching my nan for more info regarding my Grandads service in Ceylon as it has only been a couple of months since he passed away, :( but she has sorted through some old photos of them both from that period! :) (They married before he went to Ceylon)Unfortunately she cannot recall the squadron or specific names of places that he stayed in whilst in Ceylon...But hopefully something will turn up soon...Hope you dont mind if i keep you posted! Will try teletext...ta...Have placed grandads info on http://www.worldwar2exraf.co.uk/findanameWZ.html
and am also setting up a web page as well...
Cheers
Ian

If you have found your Grandads Srvice Number, Rank and initials you can obtain these records from

PMA IM1b(RAF)
Room 5
Building 248A
RAF Personnel Management Agency
RAF Innsworth
Gloucester GL3 1EZ

But it will have to be actioned by your Grandma and not yourself as she is the next-of-kin. This will definitely give you dates of postings and other very limited information. The fee for this is normally £25. If you type in RAF (MoD) Innsworth into Google search engine it will come up with all of the details

Best of luck
