Commissioned into the RAF Technical Branch
Would it be possible for an NCO Pilot to be awarded a commission in the Technical Branch?
I am looking at the career of Sydney Walter Griffin 49536. From his NCO number 363597 he enlisted in the mid 20's. I have his date of birth as 13.6.1907. I also have a Sgt SW Griffin flying Gladiators with 127 squadron RAF in the Syrian Campaign. Taking into account that 127 Sqn was formed from the staff of 4 SFTS, Could these two men be the same person? Regards Andy |
