If anyone who served in the RAF in January 1946 was involved in 'the greatest single act of defiance in the history of the British armed forces' also known as 'Mutiny in the RAF', a book is being written on the subject.

Interesting subject this MUTINY IN THE RAF 1946.
I was talking to someone at the weekend about this very subject, he had previously asked the MoD if he could obtain permission to place this subject on his website, the answer was an emphatic no and if he did persist the MoD lawyers would be involved.
Apparently there is not very much mentioned on this subject in the National Archives Records at Kew (former PRO) and is under the the 75 year rule wraps where information will not be released.
For goodness sake this happened 58 years ago what has anyone to hide on this subject now?

I've read David Duncans website on The Mutiny some time ago and he has it most comprehensively covered as it was also on Channel 4.
I'm a member of The RAF Mauripur Association and have attended annual re-unions for the last eight years.I was stationed there much later to the Mutiny.There are quite a few members from that era who attend but I have never heard any of them mention it.Perhaps the Association secretary could help;he can be contacted on the Association website.
