Most of us will know that gen = information and will have heard the phrases.

Good gen
Pukka gen
Duff gen etc.

Wiki reckons it's from the railways

" Gen: Information, most particularly regarding locomotive movements and what might be working a particular train. The rise of the mobile phone and internet communication has made modern gen more long-term and less distinguishable from general rumour."

But does it have RAF origins?

It doesn't seem to be in the RAFnasaurus under G
