    The person in the attached photograph is my Grandfather. I believe he served in WW2 in the Polish Air Force. I dont know very much else about him apart from that he was based in Ruislip or Northolt in 1944.

    Please could you take a look at his uniform and see if you can work out if this is indeed a RAF Uniform and if so what rank it is?

    Any help would be greatly received.

    Many thanks

    Hallo Darron, :D

    Welcome to G.M.I.C. it would help if you could provide a larger picture

    as the detail is very obscure.

    I always ask, any written details to the rear of the picture?

    Many thanks for your kind response Kevin. Unfortunately, I am unable to resize the picture but could email it to you? I know that he called himself John but on the back of the picture (which isnt easy to read) it says Jan/Jon Johana/Jahana. I know this isnt very helpful but the people that would know have since passed away. I was told that he was killed in the war but I am not sure if that was true as my Grandmother wasnt married to him.

    I am posting this here for Darron

    I am in no way an expert however to my eye the jacket has no eppulattes,

    no apparant shoulder flashes.

    There appears to be a badge on the right collar / lapel

    The buttons look to be silver/gilt.
