WWII RN service records

[Paul C]

My friends dad served in the RN during WWII. Would his service record be available online or somewhere?

The service records for British personnell, WWII can be accessed through the National Archives, Kew.  Go here:https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/requests-for-personal-data-and-service-records.

Not online, there are charges and he may have to prove that he is next of kin, as the records are not yet public - a 90 year rule, I think.

Good luck.
