I'm not sure whether the ground staff such as drivers were assigned to the squadron or to the station although the fitters were often assigned to a single aircraft which would lead to an association with a squadron for at least as long as it stayed at a single station.

Hi Grant,
Thanks! He was at ROCKLIFFE AFB
I've done searches for Rockliffe but haven't come up with much as yet.
He enrolled/enlisted? "about" 1941, went overseas to serve probably completely in UK as truck/ambulance driver, came home in '46/47, and was discharged in 1947.
I need a
now ...
