I just remembered something about 10Sqn RAF. I was on the fleet when they promoted all VC10 Captains to acting Sqn. Ldrs. ......well, those who were not S/Ls already.
It created a lot of controversy and some humour at the time...does anyone know if that continued?

BEagle!?

Our Captain (I'll call him Al) said it was correct and proper as he was the commander. He then suggested that we should wear wings on our KD uniform so everyone would know he was the Captain.
The AOC smiled and then said "Well, Jim....If others don't respect you as Captain maybe you shouldn't be one!" as he gave me a dig in the ribs.

Freudian slip?
