A member of the RAF Commands discussion board recently posted a link to an Australian archive containing selected digitised records pertaining to Australia and New Zealand from The National Archives (London) AIR 1, 2, 5, 8 and 9 series. The documents can be viewed free of charge:
nla.gov.au/nla.obj-727835064/findingaid
As an example, among the files, is the following, containing detailed training records of the pilots accepted on RAF SSCs who trained at Wigram before sailing to the UK on the SS Tamaroa in 1938:
File: "Grant of short service commissions to Royal New Zealand Air Force trained officers under Dominion Cooperation Scheme":
nla.gov.au/nla.obj-781049603/view
I expect some of the files in the online archive may be of interest...
Cheers
