It was cheaper by 3 shillings (15p) a day,
Fortune in those days. Did I read somewhere that you got extra (1960s) for having a Marksman badge. Coming from the bad-lands of Durham I sailed through that at Bridgnorth, albeit with a fat lip as I fired a rifle left handed and the bolt of a Lee Enfield wasn't best placed for this.
I don't recall any extra pay so maybe the RAF owes me 9 years worth of cash. Possibly too late.
