It can be quite confusing at times when looking for files for the Mc and the Mac at Kew. Vernon, I think you have done what we all do at times.
David, I think this is the correct one for your father if he left after about 1965: BT 382/2665
David said - I did sight his CRS10 many years ago, which showed his service dates and ships he sailed on.
I suspect you are referring to his actual Dis.A book which belonged to to your father. His CRS 10 is a document at Kew that lists his ships from the era 1941-1972.
Anyway, I would suggest you check both files out.

Hugh
