"Immediate" or "Non-Immediate" awards

Section in article on ""Immediate" or "Non-Immediate"" awards has been removed, as applies more to DFM (where this section also appears) where, during the 1939-45 War, regular "Non-Immediate" awards were made to squadrons after tours. Please reinstate if you can support relevance with sources (no references at present).

Both Immediate and Non-Immediate awards of the AFM were made. Non-Immediate awards were typically made on New Years Honours Lists or Birthday Honours Lists and were primarily awards to Pilot/Aircrew instructors at Training Units, Communications Flight aircrew, drogue operators and men serving in a Ferry capacity in respect of sustained bravery over a long period of time. Immediate awards were made such as those to Flight-Sergt John Herbert Collins and Sergeant Harry Parker in the London Gazette 23/07/1943 for one specific act of bravery, in this type of situation a narrative citation is provided in the LG. - I havent bothered reinstating the text I provided as I no longer do this.
