Wartime RNZAF squadrons all kept Operations Record Books that covered all the ops and major movements. Most of these survive in the archives. These squadrons also kept Unit Diaries with the wider details such as postings in and out of the unit, day to day occurrences, social activities and other things that happened to the squadron recorded. Some of these survive, some sadly don't seem to.
But did the Servicing Units also keep a day to day record of the whole unit, its postings in and out, its activities and movements, allocations of new aircraft and movements of aircrfat out of that unit, and a record of which aircraft was being serviced on which day and by whom?
Or was this all only including in the Form 700 servicing record for the individual aeroplane?
Were there all encompassing records of SU's and of the servicing arm of the squadrons from before they were split into two? And are these available to researchers?
