*[http://www.fleetairarm.com/royal-navy-royal-marines-services-records.aspx Royal Navy & Royal Marines Service Records held at the Fleet Air Arm Museum]. The FAA Museum, part of the National Museum of the Royal Navy, is located at the Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton, Somerset (also known as HMS Heron). The FAA Museum generally does not hold records of service for those who enlisted after about 1925, which are still held in the custody of the Ministry of Defence.
::'''Update''' December 2018. The [https://www.fleetairarm.com/naval-aviation-research.aspx Archive & Research Centre] is closed, as its staff are working elsewhere. This means records cannot currently be requested. This could be the situation until perhaps the end of 2020.
