From a very old forum (1970's) in reply to a question about an AP "brevet described as - "an raf british brevet same style as air gunner etc".
"I seem to recall that post WW2 the RAF had a certain number of 'official' photographers (usually a bog standard airman who'd passed the Unit Photographer course. The best of these were used for the official RAF pictures such as the air to air pics used in recruiting brochures. These were the 'elite' bunch who wore the AP brevet."
