Then other VSOs got involved and looked to make a single brevet for all rear crew - although at that point commisioned WSOs were to get a crown on their brevets and WO/SNCOs would not get the crown.
Indeed so - one was (peripherally) involved in the MoD staffing of the WSO/WSOp badge saga in the "odd jobs" part of the AFD.
When we pointed out that SNCO/WO pilots had had the crown on their flying badges, there was much embarrassed foot-shuffling by VSOs!! A small victory of common sense over the "Airships"!
