The minimum rank for Airman (ie. not a Commissioned Officer) Aircrew is Sergeant.

Not so, the air gunners on the Fairy Battles in 1940 were LAC's.

Prior to 27 May 1940, aircrew could and were of LAC rank. On that date the RAF ordered that the minimum rank for aircrew should be Sergeant (mainly because they got better treatment as POWs). In the first few months of the war many airgunners were groundcrew who volunteered for aircrew duties on a mission to mission basis, and paid "flying pay" of an extra 1 shilling a 6d. As needs, skills and activity increased, all aircrew roles became specialist trades. A telegraphist, if mustered for aircrew, would probably have been trained as a Wireless Operator, rather than an airgunner.
