Re: Roy Pennington FAA

Though rare, it wasn't unheard of for a Leading Airman in the FAA to be a crew member. Although unconnected with this case I have confirmation that the Naval Air Section from HMS Daedalus based at RAF Christchurch from 1942 used Leading Air Fitters as aircrew 'assistants' on test flights without prior aircrew training.
