A question being asked on the History & Nostalgia site with no definitive answer.
Any RAF chap, or others, able to come up with an insightful answer?
Reading of the below RAF Museum document doesn't make it clear, other than reference to "The unit was affiliated to No 601 Sqn RAuxAF in 1954. Standards were checked annually by the Central Flying School’s examiners". One asks what do they mean by "affiliated to 601"? I would have thought being checked by CFS and having RAF personnel posted to the unit would have meant some formal connection ie the unit would lie within a chain of command. Or would the RAF personnel be regarded as on exchange?
