AIR FORCE (CONSTITUTION) ACT 1917 - SECT 3

Transfer and attaching to Air Force of members of Naval and Military Forces.

3.(1) Any officer, warrant officer, petty officer, non-commissioned officer,
or man of any of His Majesty's naval or military forces may, with his
consent..., be transferred by the Air Council to the Air Force, or attached by
the Air Council to the Air Force for the period of the present war or for a
period not exceeding four years:

Provided that

Para.(a) rep. by SI 1964/488

(b)no person transferred to the Air Force under the provisions of this section
shall be liable to serve with the Air Force for any longer period than that
for which he would have been liable to serve had he continued in the force
from which he was transferred.

(2) Regulations made by the Air Council may provide that in the case of a
person so transferred, the time during which he held a commission or served in
the force from which he is transferred shall, for such purposes as may be
prescribed, be aggregated with the time during which he holds a commission or
serves in the Air Force, and that his entry into or enlistment in the force
from which he is transferred shall, for such purposes as may be prescribed be
treated as enlistment into the Air Force.

(3) Where any person is transferred to the Air Force under this section, then
for the purposes of pay, pensions, gratuity, and retired or half-pay, and of
any decoration or reward dependent on length of service, any previous service
with His Majesty's naval or military forces which would have counted as
service towards pay, pension, gratuity, retired or half-pay, or such
decoration or reward if he had not been so transferred, shall be deemed to be
service with the Air Force towards pay, pension, gratuity, retired or
half-pay, or such decoration or reward.

(4) Where any person is attached to the Air Force under this section, the fact
that he is so attached shall not affect any right to any pay, pension,
gratuity, retired or half-pay, or such decoration or reward as aforesaid,
already earned by him in that branch of His Majesty's naval or military forces
to which he belonged at the date on which he was so attached, and the period
during which he is so attached shall, for the purpose of any provisions
relating to pay, pensions, gratuity, retired or half-pay, or such decoration
or reward, be deemed to be service with that branch of His Majesty's naval or
military forces to which he belonged at the date on which he was so attached.
