I’ve never worn mine at all since I took my RAF uniform off in 1994. It stays in its little box near the bottom of our display cabinet alongside other stuff connected with that era and with stuff like ammonites, painted eggs and assorted minor silverware. On the other hand, I have a shelf nearer to hand for my more recent motorsport awards, because these days they seem more relevant.
