As yet, Daz is not on PPRUNE and I am relaying for him. His email is
[email protected]. They are the standard colours of RAF ties plus the AE BREVET
(call it what you will !!!) woven into the silk tie. Disregard any previous discussion about it not being a BREVET and appparently it has been that way for at least a hundred years - AND - our current queen, Queen Elizabth ll sanctioned the AE Brevet in the mid 50's. None of the other BREVET's subsequent to that date have been sanctioned (blessed? ) so they could even be illegal. (Station Commanders take note and there may be a relevant order in QR's about illegal adornments on uniforms.)
