Theoretically, after 4 years in role you could be selected for Warrant Officer Class 2. Not sure how many tried, but it was regarded as a dismal failure. Who knew that crashing around as a Staff Sergeant with only 2 years experience sat in a classroom behind you was not good grooming for being a Senior NCO? Oh that's right, everybody knew...

Didn’t the same happen in the RAF V Force with direct entry crew chiefs?

I don't think so, I was on the V Force from 1965 - 1983 and they were all ex rigger or sooty SNCOs. Never came across a sparky or fairy.
