No, mostly LACs. The white flash in the sidecaps indicated aircrew in training and they would not necessarily have been commissioned on completion of training.

The white flash to signify "aircrew in training" was not solely a RNZAF thing; all the Commonwealth trainees in Canada for the EATS/BCATP were similarly identified. |
