HC Deb 07 November 1945 vol 415 cc1399-400W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if men who have completed their elementary training and have passed their wings examination at the Service flying schools may be allowed to complete the required number of hours to obtain their flying badge without having to sign on for another three years' service.

Mr. Strachey

Aircrew badges are awarded to cadets who have successfully completed their examinations and their flying. In present circumstances we cannot agree to arrange additional flying for cadets who have been withdrawn from training and who are unwilling to undertake a period of regular service with the Royal Air Force.
