It is good to see the draft from Cox's is going through regularly. After paying my messing expenses out here I think I have managed to save a little for myself so I won't be short when I go on leave. In the new organization my pay remains the same though I take a higher rank. I suppose the only reason the service pilots were given a second "pip" is to allow of their drawing their old rate of pay, though we are mere Flying Officers.
