Actually there were a number of instances of Corporals getting combat flights simply due to lack of trained pilots. During the battle of Britain and the preceeding months, the RAF was in a bad way. The pilots were overstretched, undermanned, outnumbered, and out-gunned by the Germans.

At one point even ground crew were given the option of flight training for combat status, enitrely outwith there ranks.
