It appears that the Honours Committee has for some reason omitted to consider the aforesaid in its deliberations. This seems rather surprising given the magnitude of his achievements for the VGS movement.
IIRC "Pippa" got an OBE about 10 years ago for inventing/developing BADER. He was an RO then - he's now FTRS - so technically he was a civil servant, and was NOT in the military list. He should, therefore wear the civilian ribbon (same as Gp Capt Vorders!) without the middle silver stripe.
I'm sure he does.......
Civil OBE
Military OBE
