Errol Martyn Posted 29 June , 2019 Share Posted 29 June , 2019 (edited) Seeking assistance with abbreviations for this RNAS/RAF man's AIR79, in particular the meaning of 'MTD', and 'H&C Works' which also appears in full on line 4 but is not fully legible. Also whereabouts was the 'Works' located? He was a Chief Mechanic and Driver (Motor Boat) as at 1 Apr 18.

petet Posted 29 June , 2019 Share Posted 29 June , 2019 (edited) Errol Could the MTD be Mechanical Transport Depot, presumably at RNAS Sandbanks? Regards Pete Edited 29 June , 2019 by petet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nieuport11 Posted 29 June , 2019 Share Posted 29 June , 2019 There was a Training Detachment at North Haven, Sandbanks, Poole, in 1918 and so possibly 'Marine Training Detachment' RNAS Sandbanks was not commissioned until 1940 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
