Uniforms for controllers
<P>Hi guys.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>During the years before WW2 a great debate took place within the Air Ministry as how the "Controllers" at Croydon should be perceived.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>It was decided that as the pilots had uniforms that confirmed their status the ATC bods should have the same.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>A uniform was designed and 10 wire badges&nbsp;were made to enhance their uniforms.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>However, due to restrictions placed on the&nbsp;budget of the ATC service they were never implemented.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>If you want to know more, ask me.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>JP.</P>
