Airmans Pay Account

Thanks to Idris Owen 4145420 for his pay account from 1954.
He has kindly donated the original to the collection of memorabilia held at the Bridgnorth Visitor Information Centre.

Thanks to Philip Crook W4275291 for his pay account from November 1962.
Philip says "Compare Idris Owen's 1954 pay of £2/9s with my 1962 £6/18/3d, and my later pay, as an SAC net pay of £9/12/6d!"

Thanks to Philip Crook W4275291 for this.
Philip says "This is about six years after RAF Bridgnorth, but it shows how RAF pay had increased since National Service days! something like £8 per week extra, but notice how much Income Tax has increased, as ever! About twelve months later I was promoted to Corporal, approx. another £10 weekly, but then we started to pay for our food and accommodation, the 'Military Salary' !"
