Raf Rates Of Pay
You haven't lived! In 1947, the daily pay for a Halton Apprentice was 1s and 6p per day. On the fortnightly pay parade, each lad was paid ten shillings in cash (sixpence was retained for laundry charges), and the balance was paid before each of the three long leaves. Needless to say most of the ten shillings cash went on boot polish, blanco and brasso!
