	If after his number the a/c 11 is his rank it's AC 2 for Aircraftman Second Class and the lowest rank at the time. It may be when he first started training in the RAF.

	His service records will still be with the MOD and not online. Have a look here to see how to apply for them. The cost is £30 and they will take several months (or more) to arrive.:- https://www.gov.uk/requests-for-personal-data-and-service-records Kath. x

The only information I have is this, RAF number is 2380289 a/c 11. Watts E u/t electrical assist hut x34 3 wing. He was stationed at Waterbeach in Cambridge & worked on the Dakotas. I've no idea of timings but it was prior to 1951 as that was when he married my Mum. He was born in 1929. If anyone can give me any infoI would be very grateful.
