SWB records are available on line at Ancestry but just for the Army.

Yours is RAF and I dont think the records are yet available, but I could be wrong as its not my service of interest.

Had a quick look for silver war badges bearing the number 9620 . Only record was for a 'Arthur Cross' of the Wiltshire regiment... No evidence of any badges listed with the prefix RAF. Can only conclude RAF records not digitised for access.
