When I worked at Cranwell the AVM Commandant had a Sqn Ldr PSO, a Flt Lt ADC, a Cpl Driver, a secretary, a Butler, a cook a nanny and a Gardener and an entertainment allowance
He was posted to MOD in an AVM post and lived in a Wg Cdr quarter at Hornchurch and went to work every day, several stations down the District Line. Move must have cost him £10K in the mid-60s
