SNCO Aircrew
In the process of carrying out some research at work into NCO Aircrew, the following question has some of us puzzled. Whilst it could be argued that Air Ministry Order A746/42 is the root from which modern NCA sprung, where is it actually written that NCA should be SNCOs? Also, where, if anywhere, does it say that FC / AT / IA should be SNCOs? I have a feeling from discussions round the bazaars that “it’s that way because it is”, but if anyone could supply a reference I would be grateful. By the way, I know that the RN and AAC have JNCO aircrew, but that’s a separate discussion…..
