How do I find a soldier from WW2 who was in the RAF and stationed towards the end of the war at RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire.. he may be from Wales? We believe his name was Charlie or Charles Williams

During WW2 RAF Coningsby was part of Bomber Command, so this site might be of help. I think you will have trouble though if you aren't even sure of his name.

One small tip - if you contact them, please don't call your man a soldier. If he was in the RAF he would have been an airman/aircraftman.

Good luck.
