Look at the airman - and guess his age, and then read his actual age.... its unbelievable he looks so old for that age.

80 years to solve this mystery about the BVAF / Burma Volunteer Air Force . Two officers marked on the Rangoon memorial are now 'accounted for' because - they are already marked on european memorials and we know how they died. Jon Heyworth solved this one

Another milestone reached - as the number of unaccounted is now down to three digits.. https://t.co/rKYa7jVT7D

@WW2Talk Which country did this inquiry come from? South Asia?

[RAF Commands @rafcommands]

@RAFMUSEUM @CWGC @I_W_M @AHB_RAF And you can barely make out the "RED" in this chart!

[RAF Commands @rafcommands]

And we did it - 99%!!
99% of all 122,400 RAF / AF Deaths in WW2 now have a cause of death identified! Thanks to the incredible effort of our forum members, in particular Jon Heyworth!!

@WW2Talk Obsessives ..sums it up right!

[WW2Talk @WW2Talk]

The usual mention on significant #WW2 days.
Anyone inspired to find more on a serving relative.
We're a collective of obsessives, specialising in UK & Commonwealth subjects.
Free, & always will be.
It's often astonishing what the chaps can turn up.

@DanielJPhelan_ TY! https://t.co/OrrlDeRRGk

[RAF Commands @rafcommands]

So for the first time - the unaccounted airmen (whose cause of death is unknown) in the CWGC Database has dipped below 1500! .. we are just about 250 records away from getting up to 99% completion

@BongoThePongo The Wapiti entered service around 1929, so any question of them being diverted for civilian use is near zero. Plus this definitely is not a Wapiti, as its much larger.. the answer might be in a civ regn ending with AAA..

[RAF Commands @rafcommands]

So what is this ac , regn and type? Hinaildi, Iraq 1929
