Whilst a number of stations have had an Air Cdre Staish, very few have gone the whole hog and escalated the whole management structure to match. One exception was Lyneham in the late 60s/early 70s which not only had an Air Cdre but also had three GP Capts - Ops, Eng and Admin. I believe one of the reasons it was discontinued is that 46 Gp HQ was forced to operate one level higher in order to match rank levels which distorted the whole staffing process.
