Figures from the RAF List on the RAF website reveals the following Numbers and Ranks in the RAF:
3 Air Chf Mshl
9 Air Mshl
25 AVM
82 Air Cdre
258 Gp Capt
1265 Wg Cdr
2559 Sqn Ldr
4261 Flt Lt
386 Fg Off
65 Plt Off
872 OCdt
1 Chpln Chf
1 Prncpl Chpln
23 Revd (Wg Cdr)
32 Revd (Sqn Ldr)
5 Revd (Flt Lt)
Not counting the OCdt, the total is 8975, so in a force of 40,000, almost 1 in 4 is an Officer, and each Officer has an average of 3 people to 'manage'.
With 62 Revd ranks, means each sqn could have a couple of Reverends each.!!!
