very interesting. there's a map of lamsdord on that site which shows the camp subdivided into various sections which supports the idea that there might be an raf area. one story I've found said the raf section was in the middle "as the germans thought the raf men were more ontelligent and so more likely to escape" and there is onw section surrounded on all sides in the map

britinafrica - can't see letter adds anything. there clearly is a question whether it did or even could have happened and the rest is just supposition
There certainly had to be an RAF presence at the camp as I am reading several of their stories but so far I have seen nothing over the rank of Warrant Officer.
One report claims the RAF personnel in the camp numbered 600 which put them in the minority as far as the services went.
