Slightly off topic but some years ago there was a scheme to recruit civilian instructors to become RAFVR QFIs in the university air squadrons. A rather nice design of wings was produced, similar to the RAF pattern but with blue feathers and the letters 'VR' in the centre. In the event the course was so tough that only a handful made it through and got to wear the wings. I bought a load from government surplus supplies and sold them in my shop - wish I had kept a pair.
