1947 Pattern Flying Wings
I recently came across a photo of an Airman who was undertaking Officer Training. He was a Pilot with the rank of Aircrew II and the photo must date to 1947/48. There were two anomalies in the photo which someone on here may be able to answer. Firstly he is wearing his rank badge at the bottom of his sleeve (as a Master Aircrew would ) which I have only ever seen worn on the upper arm and he was wearing bullion flying brevet, which I had always believed for only for the Officers 1947 Uniform change. I would be most obliged if anyone can throw any light on these anomalies.
