Hi there,

While doing some maintenance on a museum aircraft in Canada, I found a bag. It has:  
S. Munro  
R.A.A.F.  
hard to read service number.. maybe 402903…

I’ve tried searching for Munro in the airforce records records but haven’t had any luck. Any tips on how to figure out who this was?

With the following information you should be able to find his service record on the NAA:
