    I have used the names you gave but can find no details at war graves site.

    Have got details of 176 with the name DICKINSON, you might need to check on the spelling of his name.
    176 names here;Geoff's Search Engine

    Regrettably there does not appear to be any Nelson John Dickinson in the RAF CWGC records. None of the Dickinsons with an initial "J" are recorded as being on the Runnymede Memorial, (meaning they have no known grave). All the J Dickinsons have known graves, so you might want to search through those on Geoff's 1939-1947 Search Engine entering the Surname and the initial and Royal Air Force in the Regiment/Corps Drop Down List.
    With the information you provided there is not much more that I can provide.
    Gaining his Service Papers will no doubt give you his Service Number and more details that we can then use to help you.
