Thumbs up Pathfinder Support

Went to a Pathfinder Force Association Dedication Service yesterday. Met a buch of the PFF veterans, almost all of whom commented that it was good to see someone sporting the single wing Brevet. (They keep up with all goings-on!)

During the dedication speech, the PFF Assoc President mentioned his initial PFF interview with Don Bennett.....Apparently he was asked why he was wearing his Observer Brevet vice the Navigator one, and replied that he would never wear a brevet in place the one he was awarded upon graduation.

Apparently this was seized upon by Bennett who replied that as an Observer he should be capable of 20wpm Morse Code and then proceeded to flip over a hinged morse key and tap out 40 words!
