    Hi all

    I'm trying to do some research on my late grandfather well both of them really, however I am currently looking for a Mr Anthony Alfred Glynn RAF (Pilot i believe) of which i have very little info other than he did have a posting to 9 OAFU (Observer Advanced Flying Unit) RAF Llandwrog near Cearnarfan, north wales. After which he supposedly spent time over in Burma. A particular note of interest is that he was in a columm of aircraft due to take off on a raid he was a person down in crew, he spotted said crewman running to the aircraft and so he stopped the line to pick the crewman. He then contined with the mission, but on his return allegedly he was busted in rank. this apparently was in lancsasters and with being busted may have then gone onto RAF Llandwrog afterwoods. He survived the war and attended may reunions in regard to the Burma Star group. However they can't find his name either. I am currently waiting for a copy of death cert for which i can ask for general enquiries information with cranwell which may give his rank and Number. He survived the war and died 3rd Aug 1991 in conwy, north wales. any help would be most apprieiated even to confirm his posting to Llandwrog.

    Regards

    Mr Dave Glynn

    Welcome Dave. The other suggestions are quite astute, ww2talk.com is probably your best bet for all things Commonwealth & WW2, and it's our sister site so no issues visiting one over the other. Good luck!
