You may be awarded wings at the end of AFT but you are not allowed to keep them if you do not make it to an operational Sqn - I believe this is still the case as it always was.
Unless Siam had his wings confirmed (usually 6 months or CR) he should not wear them or claim to be an ex-RAF pilot - by his own admission he is a 'failed pilot'. Perhaps a little more detail on his service career is required.
I, like many others, treasured the award of wings and hate to see poseurs like this devaluing them.
Siam, I think your 'honesty' in posting here to clear the air is nothing more than a cynical attempt at damage limitation and, while you are continuing to trade on things like CAC and Afghanistan, you will continue to attract negative feedback.
BTW, in your philanthropic outlook on business, how does you taking a commission and a percentage from consumers' utility bills reduce their costs?
