§ 103. Mr. Beswickasked the Secretary of State for Air what recognition is made to those officers of a branch other than general duties branch who have previously qualified for the pilot badge, who are medically fit for flying duties and who continue in flying practice; if they are paid flying pay; if he is satisfied that these officers are suitably rewarded for their initiative in keeping themselves available for flying duties if so required; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. WardThese officers may receive flying pay if they are employed in a flying appointment established for the general duties branch or in any other appointment which involves an equivalent amount of flying. Their flying experience is also taken into account when they are considered for promotion.
