Can Anyone Interpret the Following from a Trove Search About My Uncle Kevin L a C No a 12600 Norman Kevin Howard Instructional Staff R T C Iib Course ...
Norman Kevin Howard - Uncle Kevin.
A TROVE search places him in Wagga Wagga 1954.
The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954) Saturday 24 April 1954 p 7 Article.
Two references (electoral roll) places him in Coffs Harbour 1964 (Clergyman) and possibly
Campbelltown (Mechanic)1977.
Hi found this, might help.

Bankruptcy Court
R.A.A.F.
L.A.C. = Leading Aircraftman
The course is 11E not 11B
11E I believe is a fitters course
probably at the Wagga air force base doing the course
Hang on R.T.C that would have been the R.A.A.F Technical College in Wagga, where they trained the apprentices. So he was teaching the 11E course there.
Appreciate the info. l am now wandering if he ever served in the RAAF as l can find no records of him doing so. He certainly lived a mystery life.
Thanks Mike Howard.
You can only be a Leading Aircraftman if you are in the R.A.A.F.
