Not strictly true - later in WWII GPR 2nd pilots wore pale blue wings with a yellow ā€˜Gā€™ in a circle in the middle. They were not trained to the same standard as first pilots and did not receive the crown & lion with wings badge.
Herewith the 2nd pilot's wings, elbow Army Flying Badge (as worn by fully qualified 1st pilots).
