Thank you. I know that the RAF Regt were issued blue berets during wartime and so it would appear that this extended to the glider pilots. This thread is rapidly becoming testament to the small things we take for granted at the time being lost through time - or not now happily. When authors, film directors, artists, etc do not do their homework - history is soon and often far too easily rewritten. I think that I need to add to my ‘to do’ list a Horsa on the ground inclusive of both troops and pilots perhaps making a pilots group briefing the focal point. Though the Hamilcar is the ginger haired step child of the glider regiments which I may also be able to address.
