LJ - Isn't the point that AVM West is a member of the
regular RAF, not a separate
auxiliary force or service? Otherwise, by your reckoning, each of the 17
Directors of WRNS qualified as a
Royal Navy 2* despite having belonged to a separate service prior to amalgamation.
Mind you, the Royal Navy has had its own woman 3* for some years:
Despite sounding rather clumsy, perhaps "first woman 2* in the
regular RAF" would suit you better?
