Aircrew multi-tasking

I recall being told by a South African Air Force officer on exchange (way back in 1950) that SAAF pilots were multi-taskers, having been trained also as navigators and radio operators; I have no reason to believe I was being conned!

However when on exchange to the RAF they were required only to act as pilot or navigator, WOPs not being included in the exchange scheme.
