All Second World War entrants to the RAF were commissioned or enlisted into the RAFVR, with only pre-War regulars and auxiliaries being 'RAF' or 'RAuxAF' respectively during the conflict. When the Service was re-structured after the War, those wartime entrants who chose to stay in full-time service, and were accepted, became 'RAF' (in many cases at lower rank to that held in the wartime RAFVR).
