QUOTES
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?
Didn't the AOC know he was called AL? 
Unqoute.
They knew each other well...the name change was in context to the conversation....Freudian perhaps but no slip....intended indeed!
Do RAF aircrew now have wings/brevets on KD uniform or shirts? I see they do on those blue jump suits originally stolen (sorry, borrowed) from the USAF and that is what is worn when flying but, in those days, we wore collar and tie and shiny shoes, unless destined for the tropics. There our uniforms became a mixed bag of KD usually made by any tailor in Changi village/Kowloon and coupled them with desert (chukka) boots.
Not very uniform at all.
