RAF Pilot promotion + Navigator "G.D." ?

I went throught the case of a RAF bomber pilot who, after 3 missions (of his first tour) and 3 weeks spent with his new squadron, was promoted from Flight Sgt to Pilot Officer. Was it common to get a promotion after such a short time ? What were the criteria ?

And in the same crew, when the navigator was posted "in", the clerc noted besides his name in the squadron's files, "G.D. (N)". I understand the (N) for navigator but what was the meaning of "G.D." ?

Thank's for your help.
