Waltham do a great dinner night for the new crop of PPLs, IMCs and NQs - for the PPL, a natty little set of silver wings; for the IMC, the same but gold, and for the Night Qualification, they give you a torch. If you follow up with an Instructor Rating, they give you a tie and make you turn up at 8am on the dot.
Reading this, I had a horrible feeling I'd mislaid those little silver and gold badges (I know where the torch is) - but have just found them in with the dress-shirt studs and cufflinks. Never worn them apart from at the dinner night, but when I'm old, blind, deaf and dribbling, I hope those little bits of tin bring back the memories of what was, and what is yet to be.
On the front, the wings have the WLAC logo and motto. On the back, it says "BadgeMaster 01623 723 112"
Edited: Do'h. Didn't see the original posting date.
