Eng Wing at Valley solved the problem of potential jealousy and ill-feeling by presenting their (one?) allocation to me behind closed-doors with the strict instruction not to show or wear the ribbon until arrival at my new unit (I had just about finished 'clearing' when I was ushered into OC Eng's office). I was somewhat bemused as I wasn't really aware of the existence of such a thing. After a spot of leave, turned up at new location with ribbon in place and this did elicit a number of comments - not all complementary.
