HC Deb 09 May 1946 vol 422 c123W
Wing-Commander Millinǵton

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether untrained aircrew whose training was stopped by the cessation of hostilities car be classified as aircrew for the purpose o release.

Mr. Strachey:

No, Sir. These men an no longer liable for flying duties. They are mustered instead in ground trades, which helps to even out the release rate for the Service as a whole. It is the fairest arrangement all round to release them along with the other airmen in their present trades.
