Notes:
1. In 2009, the data system for recording RAuxAF manpower statistics was revised to contain more detail, including the introduction of recording personnel by trade.
2. For pre-2009 statistics, a breakdown of total numbers by trade could only be provided through manual search of the Joint Personnel Administration database. This information could therefore only be obtained at disproportionate cost. For years prior to 2009 the total shortfall percentage is provided.
