Rank Badges
Mactlsm1 Not sure why you say ' Allegedly' The four bladed prop was for many years the proud distinguishing badge of Aircraft Apprentices, Boy Entrants and other volunteers who joined at a very early age (15 1/2 to 17) in an era when whinging about conditions of service was not fashionable. End of rant!
John, I did NOT intend to cause anybody to rant, indeed I am one of those who wore that very badge (proudly). I went through at the time when the badge was being brought back in (78-81), so you can also see that I was a youngster when I joined. I accepted the conditions of service then....and still do now.
