Chief-Technician Rank: Chief Technician (Chf Tech or formerly C/T) is a senior non-commissioned rank in the Royal Air Force which is only held by aviators (air-crew) in technical trades and by musicians. It is between sergeant and flight sergeant and, like the latter has a NATO code of OR-7. Aviators in non-technical trades progress directly from sergeant to flight sergeant. Along with junior technician this is a survivor of a separate ranking system for technicians introduced in 1950 and abolished in 1964. During that period it was equivalent to flight sergeant, but was made junior to that rank in 1964. Chief technicians are usually addressed as "Chief".

The medals professionally mounted as-worn in the court-style by Spink of London. The reverse of the fabric covered buckram frame adorned with Spink labels and retaining its long stout brass hinged pin and clasp fittings.
