If it's anything like our situation down under, I've always been of the understanding that RAAF wings are part of the uniform, and therefore to wear them as part of some cobbled-up civvy garb is wrong*.
*The exception being Anzac Day, where I will feel fully justified in wearing them plus medals on my jacket when I'm playing two-up in the pub and swilling grog like there's no tomorrow.
Yes, I always thought this would be illegal in Australia. I have certainly never worn my military brevets on my civy uniform! though I do occasionally wear my old, de-badged jacket. Imagine wearing your parachute wings as well!
If he desperately wanted to don a pair of wings he could have considered one of several half-wing badges available for ground crew, perhaps within the context of his management role in the operation of his charter effort etc
Really? Flight Nurses, Paramedics and Aircrewmen/Loadmasters are awarded half-wing brevets for their qualifications. Why should non-flying personnel wear them?
Siam, thanks for your honest post.
