AC 2 Milliken had the lowest RAF rank. AC stood for Air Craftsman, of which there were grades 1 and 2. Both 'ranks' were abolished in 1964 and all new recruits were Air Craftsman or Air Craftswoman.

"Cpl. Robb: First trip? A.C.2 Milliken: Yes Corporal. It's nice and smooth, isn't it? Cpl. Robb: Yes - just another pleasure trip!"
