Sanny, you won't be able to see the records online but if you go here

http://www.nas.gov.uk/

you will find the details of how to order copies if you are unable to go in person. If you are going in person note that those records are stored off site so give them advance notice of your visit.

The other way is to email them for a cost estimate for photocopies to be sent to you.

Hope this helps.
