Commissioned Vs NCO Pilots
Ok fellow Pruners, genuine question here.
Why does the RAF & RN insist that all of their driver dudes are commissioned, where as the Pongo's will take NCO pilots?
I know that perhaps Sqn Ldr Jeeves would not be too happy sharing his precious aircrew crew room with someone who dare not be involved in passing the port at each mess night, but seriously, what's the REAL need to have the RAF/RN crews commissioned?
