lost records?
Posted: Sun 30 Oct, 2011 3:43 pm
Hi i wonder if anyone can help, i passed my jumps course at brize in 1990.
I am currently with raf reg reserves but thinking of transferring to Army as combat pioneer.
I have never worn my wing with RAF but now im transferring i am thinking about wearing the wing again.
Problem is my local unit needs proof of course that i actually did jumps course.
Not a problem or so i thought!!!!!
I approached 4 para HQ pudsey who i did p coy and jumps and they said i would have to contact an address in scotland (Glasgow) for my records.
I did so, but to my suprise, after waiting 6 weeks they wrote back to advise me they have no record, im gutted, at 45 yrs old my chances of going through it all again are less than zero.
Can anyone advise me of any way forward, i really want to wear my wing now.
Its important, to me!!!
Cheers for any help.
