Crosseyes,
Err no,
The royal coat of arms they wear, means that they are at the very top of the enlisted tree. Call them Mr, Ma'am,WO,Sir, MACR ( correct method ) or E9 ( works great on the spams) it matters not, they are still top dog. As for the huuuge badge of rank on the No1's - well you just have to make sure that they know who you are....
As for the men / women themselves, I have worked with / for some great people and some utter tw@ts. But they are the real deal and as for their position in the RAFL, who gives a to§§ !
Enjoy !
And so to bed wondering how long before the "they are not real WOs + plastic sergeants" debate kicks off...
