I too knew a rock ape with pilots wings-- he was my dad.
He was a QFI but at the end of the war was one of many deemed to be superflous. So they were given a choice - Admin, Provost, Catering ,Padre, Supply or RAF Regiment. Being an outdoor sporty type he opted for the The Regiment and had a great time. 2 Armoured Car - Habbaniya, Adj at RAF Watchet, 40mm bofors school (bet you never head of that place) and later a Field Squadron at Celle. I followed his career closely -because I HAD TO -I was dragged around these places as a school boy. I retained a regard for the Regiment because I met some real characters over the years - But it not for me -far too energetic
