I suspect "Melchy" is talking about people who continue to wear wings when they should be wearing the light bulb. Between 1967 - 69 I was a member of the NEAF Para Rescue Team based at AKR, did the Abingdon course and was entitled to wings. When I returned to the UK and the requirement for me to jump had gone, I was supposed to change to the light bulb. I claim the 5th amendment.
