Just a comment. I have relation over in Ireland by the Stewart name, so thought I would share a subject with you...If you get the chance to meet any of your old relatives..Get a camcorder..even if you have to borrow one and film your visit!! Years later you will be glad you did..Pictures with your regular camera are of course good, but movies are 100 times better. If you can afford,  the litlle miniDV cassette kind work SUPER. Easy to edit and all that stuff.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Have you tried contacting RAF. He may have a pension &, if so, they will have a current address.

If you know which part of Scotland, it may be worthwhile placing adverts in the local newspapers asking him to get in touch. You don't have to give too many details just say that it may be to his advantage to contact you. Give a box number for replies.

Good Luck.

Answer 5

Do you know where they were stationed when they met? There are many websites where old war time RAF people keep in touch and I'd make a start there if you know where they were. Good luck with it!
