The CWGC has undertaken a major revamp of their site.

http://www.cwgc.org/search-for-war-dead.aspx

Search functions have been enhanced so that you can now search cemeteries / memorials, honours and awards and keywords as well.
Check out the entry for 10 MiD's

Well worth a visit.

In addition, search results can now be downloaded for spreadsheet use, in CSV format.

For example, specifying
Served in/Air Force,
a year at a time (by full start & finish date).
The files download quite readily on broadband.

The new online Search also offers a Regiment search field. However, for Air Force casualties the necessary RAF, RAFVR, RAFO etc distinction means looking up Squadron is not available - on line.

However, it is there - in the downloaded results, as a single field Unit/Ship/Squadron.

So, for Air Force casualties, once you have a full or partial set of downloaded files, you can sort/search etc by Unit/Squadron field.

A great advance.
