Aprocryphal story from the Vulcan days of Nuclear Deterrent at the Scampton BoB Cocktail Party.
Local Councillor's wife attending in little black number with a badge depicting the 'Footprint of the Great British Chicken' aka CND. Said 'lady' smirks at attending hired hands and says "I suppose it annoys you chaps that I am wearing my CND badge with pride?"
Quick as a flash on the of the aircrew replied:
"Madam - there is not an officer in this room who would not gladly lay down his life to allow you the freedom to wear a badge like that in a room like this."
Little Black Number slinks away head hung in shame.
