Hello Andy,
Have looked at AFList for August, September & December 1939.
Found these in the names index
August
Woodruff G.C.B - P/O.
Woodruff J - P/O
Woodruff C.J.
Woodruff H.W.
Woodruff P.H - P/O 39806
September
Woodruff C.J.
Woodruff H.W.
Woodruff P.H. P/O 39806.
December
Woodruff C.J.
Woodruff H.W.
Woodruff P.H. F/O 39806.
1940
May
Woodruff C.J
Woodruff H.W.
Woodruff P.H..
P.H would most certainly be Patrick Henry Woodruff who as Wing Commander DSO; DFC lost his life on 27-02-1945.
Hope this is of some use.
Alex
