As with the RAF, large air force organisations or formations in the other Commonwealth realms may be honoured by having an air commodore-in-chief appointed in their name. These appointments are rare and to date (2020) have been given to just three senior members of the royal familyQueen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip and Prince Charlesin just three non-UK Commonwealth air forces (RCAF, RNZAF, RAAF). Air commodore-in-chief is not a rank and such an appointment does not convey the rank of air commodore upon the recipient.
