THESE PAGES WILL BE UPDATED AS NEW INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE. 

RAF Ground Units 

There are an increasing number of researchers and individuals who are getting personal records from Innsworth and have problems in deciphering the information they contain particularly with Ground Units dealing with personnel.
The main difficulty is with the following:
Recruit Centres
Recruits Training Pool
Reception Centres
Receiving Centres
Aircrew Reception Centres
Aircrew Receiving Centres
Aircrew Holding Units
Personnel Reception Centres
Personnel Despatch Centres
Personnel Transit Centres
Release Embarkation Centres
Initial Training Wings
Depots

I intend to list what I have on this Board - my information is all from the PRO Catalogue but I have an advantage on those who look at the new version PROCAT because I printed out the old version. (A good move) If anyone would like to add a similar category to the list above then I will look at it but I do not intend to list AFU EFTS FTS AOS AGS OTU HCU MU or similar which are documented in books on Flying Training Units and I shall simply refer you to those.

After posting in the above categories there will be some missing which I hope you will inform me of and I shall then attempt to find out about them. This is not an easy area to research as on official documents they are abbreviated in many forms but I will do my best !!!
