1. Figures have been rounded to the nearest 10, though numbers ending in a “5” have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias caused by rounding numbers upwards.
2. Totals and sub-totals are rounded separately and so may not equal the sums of their rounded parts.
3. Figures provided are for Regulars only and do not include Full Time Reserve Service.
4. There are no senior serving officers at OF10.
5. OF-6 = Commodore /Brigadier / Air commodore
OF-7 = Rear Admiral / Major General / Air Vice-Marshal
