§ 22. Mr. EDWARD WILLIAMSasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what water craft are under the control of the Air Ministry; and what rank do the officers or ratings in charge bear in the Air Force?
§ Sir P. SASSOONThe Air Ministry has a number of auxiliary water craft which are attendant on aircraft for necessary services such as ambulance work, refuelling, high-speed target-towing, torpedo-dropping, and the like. Royal Air Force personnel are in charge of these craft, apart from a few civilians, and their ranks vary, according to the type of craft, from warrant officer Class I downwards.
