Hello everyone, I am the grandson of Rupert T T Waring and he was an RFC scout pilot in 1917/1918. I am based in Bahrain and NRO say my search is too big..... I believe he might have been with 51 or 52 Squadron (my Aunt who's 83 now thinks this, but I've no facts to prove it)... I cannot find out much about his war record except:

Acccording to the April 25th 1918 ‘Flight & The Aircraft Engineer’ No 487 ( No 17 Volume 10) under section ‘The British Air Services” p 460 "Announcements" section:

The following appointments are made: -

Flying Officers. – Temp 2nd Lieuts (on prob), Gen List and to be confirmed in their rank: …… R.T.T. Waring , March 11th.

Does anyone have any way of letting me know for sure what squadron he was in, what he flew and any other information?

Many many thanks,

Tom
