[underlined] SPILSBY, LINCOLNSHIRE. 122/TFA 450650 JUST OVER 2 MILES EAST OF SPILSBY, NORTH OF THE B1195 ROAD [/underlined]
THIS AIRFIELD WAS SITED ON THE SOUTHERN END OF THE LINOLNSHIRE [sic] WOLDS A FEW MILES WEST OF SKEGNESS BETWEEN B1195 AND A158 [inserted] (T) [/inserted] ROADS, WORK STARTED EARLY IN 1943 AND A NUMBER OF MINOR ROADS TO THE NORTH OF GREAT STEEPING WERE CLOSED AND TAKEN OVER AS PART OF THE SITE. IT WAS CONSTRUCTED AS A BOMBER STATION WITH THE USUAL THREE CONCRETE RUNWAYS AND AN ENCIRCLING PERIMITER [sic] TRACK. BUT THE RUNWAYS WERE ABOVE AVERAGE LENGTH. THEY WERE THE STANDARD 150-FT WIDTH BUT THE MAIN RUNWAY WAS [underlined] 7,590 FT [/underlined] LONG, THE SECOND ONE [underlined] 6,000 FT [/underlined] AND THE THIRD [underlined] 4,290 FT. [/underlined] FOR SOME REASON THE AIRFIELD WAS NAMED AFTER THE LARGEST OF THE MARKET TOWNS TO THE WEST AND OPENED IN SEPTEMBER 1943 AS A BOMBER AIRFIELD IN NO 5 GROUP.
THE FIRST TO TAKE UP RESIDENCE WERE LANCASTERS OF NO 207 SQUAQDRON WHICH MOVED IN FROM LANGAR DURING OCTOBER. THEY CONTINUED OPERATIONS FROM HERE AND ON D-DAYS THE SQUADRON’S LANCASTERS BOMBED CAEN IN SUPPORT OF OPERATION “OVERLORD”
IN SEPTEMBER OF THAT YEAR THE RESIDENT UNIT WAS JOINED BY NO 44 SQUADRON, ALSO FLYING LANCASTERS AND SPILSBY BECAME A TWO-SQUADRON STATION, BOTH UNITS REMAINING HERE UNTIL AFTER THE WAR IN EUROPE. THE LAST MISSION OF THE WAR FOR BOTH UNITS ON APRIL 25 1945 WHEN EIGHT LANCASTERS NO 44 SQUADRON, AND 10 LANCASTER OF NO 207 SQUADRON WERE DESPATCHED TO BOMB BIEROHTESGADEN.
IN JULY 1945, NO 44 SQUADRON MOVED TO MEPAL, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, AND WAS REPLACED BY NO 75 (NEW ZEALAND) SQUADRON FROM THAT STATION. THIS UNIT REMAINED UNTIL OCTOBER 15 1945 WHEN IT THEN DISBANDED, BRINGING TO AN END A DISTINGUISHED WAR CAREER. THE DECORATIONS WON BY NEW ZEALAND PERSONNEL OF 75 SQUADRON WERE ONE V.C. SIX DSOs, 88 DFCs FOUR BARS TO DFCs, TWO CGMs and 17 DFM. BECAUSE OF THESE SQUADRON HONORS THE AIR MINISTRY SUGGESTED THAT THE R.N.Z.A.F SHOULD TAKE OVER THE SQUADRON NUMBER PLATE IN MEMORY OF THEIR FINE WAR EFFORT.
THAT SAME MONTH NO 207 SQUADRON MOVED TO METHWOLD SUFFOLK AND IT TOO HAD ACHIVED [sic] A FINE WAR RECORD – MUCH OF IT DURING ITS TWO YEAR STAY AT SPILSBY. THE SQUADRON HAD FLOWN 540 SORTIES AND LOST 154 CREWS (1,078) MEN. THE DECORATIONS WON WERE SEVEN D.S.O, 115 DFC AND 92 D.F.M. WITH THE DEPATURE [sic] OF THE LAST FLYING UNIT THE STATION WAS THE [sic] TAKEN OVER BY NO 2 ARMAMENT PRACTICE SCHOOL WHICH REMAINED UNTIL NOVEMBER 1946. BY THE END OF THE YEAR THE STATION HAD CLOSED DOWN AND WAS PUT ON CARE AND MAINTENANCE. FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS SPILSBY WAS SURPLUS TO REQUIREMENT AND WAS JUST ANOTHER DISUSED AIRFIELD, THEN, IN JUNE 1955, THE STATION WAS REOPENED AND USED BY NON-FLYING UNITS OF THE U.S.A.F. STORES AND MAINTENANCE FOR NEARBY EAST KIRKBY, THE AMERICANS REMAINED UNTIL 1958, THEN, WITH THE KOREAN WAR OVER, THE UNITS MOVED OUT IN MARCH.
THE STATION CLOSED IMMEDIATELY THE AMERICANS HAD LEFT AND, TODAY, VERY LITTLE REMAINS THE CONTROL TOWER HAS GONE AND MOST OF THE RUNWAYS AND PERIMETER TRACK HAVE BEEN DEMOLISED. [sic] THE REMAINING HANGER IS USED FOR SOME INDUSTRIAL PURPOSE, BUT FEW OTHER BUILDINGS THAT REMAIN ARE IN POOR CONDITION AND ARE FAST DISAPPEARING.

[underlined] (A) MANNING POLICY – OFFICERS
Introductory [/underlined]
1. Change of policy from peace to war. In peacetime G.D. branch responsible for all duties except those carried out by limited number of specialist Branches such as Equipment, Accounts etc. G.D. Officers specialist in duties such as signals, armament and engineering etc. and obtained antedates for promotion thereby. G.D. Officer did administration work as part of his routine duties, and only got promotion if qualified as ground side sufficiently to pass to pass promotion examinations. Every officer had own K.R. and M.A.F.L.
2. Tendency during rapid expansion has been specialisation on one job only. Administrative Branch formed to provide S.Ad.O’s, Adjutants and Assistant Adjutants to do Administrative work done previously by G.D. Branch. New duties such as Flying Control, Intelligence, Marine Craft, Electrical Engineer etc. undertaken by Specialist officers, leaving G.D. Branch mainly for flying and staff work.
[underlined] Sources of Supply of Officers [/underlined]
3. Chief source of supply in peace was by short service commission direct from civil life. Permanent commissions granted to cadets who passed through R.A.F. College, entrants from universities, apprentices and apprentice clerks, N.C.O’s aircrew and to Warrant Officers. Limited number of short service officers selected for permanent commissions and medium service commissions. Also on few stations were Class C.C. officers, or civilian administrators who afterwards joined RAFVR as first entrants of Administrative and Special Duties Branch.
4. Unprecedented expansion after 3.9.1939 caused radical change of policy. Considerable amount of requirements met from W.A.A.F. Commissioning from ranks became almost universal and grant of Short Service and permanent commissions ceased. Present policy provides for flying personnel to go through ranks in first place. Commissions granted to selected cadets completing flying training, and all qualified aircrew reviewed monthly for commissions. Officers for ground duties selected from ranks and go through O.C.T.U. as airmen and airwomen before commissioning.
[underlined] Postings – General [/underlined]
5. First principle is officer is posted [underlined] to a particular posted [underlined] to a particular post [/underlined] in unit establishment.

A.M.Os.
[underlined] R.A.F. Educational and Vocational Training Scheme. [/underlined] (AMO. A.434/45)
1. The objects of the E.V.T. scheme may be stated as follows:-
(a) To assist in maintaining morale until general demobilisation
(b) To satisfy the desire of the individual for training which will be useful on return to civil life.
(c) To assist in the national task of returning millions of men and women to civilian life.
It should be realised that the scheme is merely one measure to attain the above objects and care should be taken not to be too optimistic about the results. E.V.T. is a step in the right direction, but the major part of training for particular occupations will be undertaken after release under the direction of the Ministry of Labour.
2. The scheme is administered through Commands and Groups, but it can succeed only with the full co-operation of commanding officers for there are problems in the organisation of local facilities. Equally the active interest of all rank is demanded, whether as instructors or pupils, in order to maintain a s [sic] stem which is based on self help. The scope of the scheme will vary in different commands and situations according to local resources and current service commitments.
[underlined] Compulsory Nature of E.V.T. [/underlined]
3. One hour a week of resettlement training is compulsory for all non-permanent personnel and for regulars who intend to leave the service in the near future. Participation in educational or vocational training is voluntary, but once a course has been started it must be continued. The aim is to allocate a total of six hours of service time per week to the scheme.
[underlined] Application to Individuals [/underlined]
4. E.V.T. does not apply to regular personnel who intend to remain in the service after the war, but it is available for Dominion and Allied personnel. Participation in the scheme either as instructor or pupil will not affect release from the service.
[underlined] Types of Training [/underlined]
5. The following types of training are provided:-
(a) Resettlement
(b) Educational – elementary, secondary and higher
(c) Vocational
[underlined] Resettlement Training [underlined]
6. Designed to give men an understanding of current problems in preparation for citizenship and to teach them to use their leisure to advantage. Instruction takes the form of discussion groups, lectures, films, broadcasts, classes in arts and crafts. Air Ministry will issue a syllabus, but stations can exercise a measure of discretion.
[page break]
- 2 -
[underlined] Elementary Educational Training [/underlined]
7. Designed to bring education up to the standard of the R.A.F. War Educational Certificate. (A.M.O. A.434/45 App. A). The examination for this certificate demands a pass in any three of he [sic] subjects – English, Mathematics, Current Affairs, and Housewifery, and there are other additional but optional subjects. Instruction is mainly in the form of classes.
[underlined] Secondary Educational Training [/underlined]
8. Designed to bring education up to the standard of the Forces Preliminary Examination, success in which is accepted by universities and certain professional bodies as proof of the necessary standard of general education to embark upon a professional training although complete exemption from an entrance examination may not always be granted. It follows that the Forces Preliminary is approximately equivalent to a matriculation examination. (A.M.O. A.434/45 App. B). Instruction is in the form of classes or study under the supervision of qualified educational teachers.
[underlined] Higher Educational Training [/underlined]
9. Designed to satisfy those who have attained matriculation standard but wish to begin or continue education on a higher level. There are few cases in which classes are possible and training generally takes the form of supervised study or correspondence courses.
[underlined] Vocational Training [/underlined]
10. Non-professional vocational training includes instruction for those who already have some experience of a civilian trade, for those who wish to modify service training for use in civilian life and for those who wish to prepare themselves for further training after release. Those who already have experience of one trade will not be allowed to train for another unless for approved reasons – they cannot return to their former occupation. Those who wish to train for a trade which is completely new to them can do so only in those trades covered by the Ministry of Labour training scheme or in which employment prospects are good.
11. Air Ministry from time to time issue lists of trades for which training may be given to inexperienced men. Courses and syllabuses are laid down after consultations with the Government departments concerned. Trade union rules will not be modified in favour of those who have merely undertaken E.V.T. in the services.
12. Station workshops and other local resources must be used for instruction and mobile demonstration vans are available where necessary. Large stations have resident specialist instructors but much of the work is done by visiting instructors.
[underlined] Responsibility for E.V.T. [/underlined]
13. At command and group headquarters, the senior education officer is normally responsible for E.V.T. On stations the C.O. is responsible and the education officer is normally appointed as E.V.T. officer. An E.V.T. committee must be formed under the chairmanship of a senior officer and including all those concerned, such as the education officer and officers of the technical services on the station.
[underlined] Conditions of Service for E.V.T. Instructors [/underlined] (A.M.Os. A.120/45 and A.420/45)
14. Instructors are provided by volunteers from serving personnel subject to the following conditions:-
(a) Personnel employed as instructors will not receive less pay generally than at present, and their incorporation in the scheme will not affect release from the service.
[page break]
- 3 -
[underlined] Conditions of Service for E.V.T. Instructors [/underlined] (contd)
14. (b) Officers of any branch eligible, but not normally accepted if above the substantive or temporary rank of F.L. Substantive or temporary rank will be retained and instructors will be eligible for the acting rank of F.L. during employment. All will remain in their present branch.
(c) Airmen and airwomen of any rank or trade may be employed and will be eligible for the acting rank of Sergeant or Flight Sergeant in the ratio of three Sergeants to one Flight Sergeant.

Reference: K.R. 332 and 1097B. A.M.O. A.1024/44 as amended, A.M.O. A.984/42 as amended.
[underlined] PROMOTION OF OFFICERS [/underlined]
[underlined] Introductory [/underlined]
1. War-time schemes must vary from peace because R.A.F. in wartime is a large temporary force and the size of the post war force cannot be foreseen. Most promotion therefore, of a temporary nature subject to review at end of war.
2. Temporary scheme must provide for:-
(a) Normal promotion for officers whose career is the service
(b) A guaranteed rank for officers
(c) Promotion to fill war establishments
(d) A measure of acting promotion to overcome drafting difficulties.
[underlined] The Scheme [/underlined]
3. The requirements of para. 2 (a) to (d) have been dealt with as follows:-
(a) Peace establishment promotion to full substantive rank
(b) War substantive rank
(c) War establishment promotion to temporary rank
(d) Appointment to acting rank.
[underlined] Peace Establishment Promotion [/underlined]

(a) Officers holding permanent commissions
(b) Officers who had been provisionally selected on 3rd. Sept. 1939 when grant of permanent commissions suspended
(c) Officers, (other than those with permanent commissions) retained to complete time for retired pay.
Object to give these officers promotion they would have got under peace conditions. No regular recommendations. Vacancies filled on peace establishment of R.A.F. as at 3rd Sept. 1939. Selection boards held every six months at Air Ministry and selections published in London Gazette on 1st January and 1st July each year.
[underlined] War Substantive Rank [/underlined] (A.P. 837, paras. 1054, 1063 and 1063A)
5. The only rank guaranteed for duration of emergency. Advancement obtained by:-

[underlined] Appointment to Acting Rank [/underlined] (A.P. 837 paras. 1057 – 1061)
7. When no suitable officer of correct temporary or war substantive rank available for particular post, acting rank may be given to most suitable junior officer. THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN ACTING AND TEMPORARY RANKS. Advancement in acting rank is only advancement which Commands can authorise. Commands can authorise acting ranks up to and including wing commander in all branches except meteorological and R.A.F. Regiment. Pay granted retrospectively after rank held for 21 days. [inserted] NO LONGER APPLICABLE EXCEPT AC. S.E.A. [/inserted]
8. No appointments to acting flying officer allowed in any branch, as flying officer is lowest establishment vacancy. For medical and dental officers, lowest appointment is flight lieutenant; therefore no acting rank below squadron leader can be authorised for these officers. Advancement in acting rank normally one step at a time.
[underlined] Relinquishment of Acting Rank [/underlined] (A.P. 837 para. 1059)
9. Imperative that officers understand that acting rank can be held only so long as holder continues performing duties of that rank. There can be no guarantee of continuity of tenure. Relinquishment must be notified to officer concerned IN WRITING. Appeals from officers against recovery of over-issue of pay on account of relinquishment of acting rank are not entertained under any circumstances.
[underlined] Promulgation of Acting Rank [/underlined] (A.P. 837 para. 1060)
10. Issue and cessation of pay of acting ranks granted by Air Ministry and Commands at home regulated by posting notices, and acting ranks granted by Commands overseas by entries in P.O.R. All grants and relinquishments must be promulgated in P.O.R. under heading “ACTING RANKS”. This heading appears in front of all other P.O.R. headings and word “NIL” must be inserted below heading if no entries in a particular P.O.R.
Acting rank not published in “LONDON GAZETTE” unless to air vice-marshal or above.
[underlined] Recommendations for War Establishment Promotion [/underlined] (A.P. 837 para. 1064)

(b) by A.Os. C. – for wing commander and below.
Separate lists for each rank and branch submitted and officers assessed “A”, “B”, “C”, “C” Immobile or “D”. “A” indicates “Recommended for immediate promotion”: “B” – “Recommended for promotion in turn”; “C” – “Fitness for promotion in turn doubtful”; “C” Immobile and “D” – “Not recommended for promotion”. Para. 20 of A.M.O. A.1024/44 must be carefully studied before assessments made. “C” (Immobile) to be given if immobility on compassionate or medical grounds is only barrier to promotion. Officer should not be assessed if he has been less than 3 months in Command or Group.
[underlined] Prisoners of War and Internees [/underlined] (A.P. 837 para. 1065)
12. P.O.W. and internees retain acting rank and are eligible for war substantive rank, either by time promotion or through holding acting rank. Not eligible for peace or war establishment promotion.
[page break]
- 3 -
[underlined] Comparative Seniority [/underlined]
13. Officers of temporary or war substantive rank take seniority and precedence over similar acting rank, e.g. a wing commander (tempy) [sic] with seniority 1st Jan. 1944 would take precedence over an acting wing commander with seniority 1st Jan. 1943.
[underlined] CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS ON OFFICERS [/underlined]
[underlined] General Principles [/underlined]
14. Vital for reporting officers to record an honest opinion without regard to consequences. Failure in this respect may have very detrimental effect on efficiency and well-being of the service.
[underlined] Rules for Adverse Reports [/underlined]
15. When necessary to make adverse reports on officers, following procedure must be scrupulously observed:- [inserted] KR. 1097B [/inserted]
(a) Report must be shown to officer concerned and initialled by him.
(b) Officer concerned must be given opportunity to make statement on adverse report.
(c) Report and officer’s statement must be sent forward to higher authority.
[underlined] Warning to Officer of Shortcomings [/underlined]
16. When officer’s conduct not up to standard but not sufficiently serious for court martial or termination of commission, superior officer must warn him of shortcomings and give opportunity for improvement. Any subsequent formal adverse reports must contain information as to warnings and periods given for improvement.
