This query was sent to the CCI Facebook Message box. A very specialist area, but evidently he is doing some serious research and someone may know the answer.
Aidan Williams published two articles for Cross and Cockade on the Engine Repair Shops of the Royal Flying Corps in France, WW1. I am researching a similar area and wonder if any of the Cross and Cockade membership would be able to shed light upon records and/or information relating to RFC / RNAS & RAF officers and men who further to the end of hostilities in 1918 obtained something known as an “Aeronautical Ground Engineer‘s License” which may have been issued to them upon demobilisation as a form of war gratuity or upon undertaking examination by the Air Ministry. I am interested in any and all such personnel issued or holding these licenses issued to retired / demobilised and also active RFC / RNAS & RAF personnel from the period beginning 29 April 1919 until approximately 1935/36.
