'ADC' - as in post nominals - does it stay with you or does it vanish when you leave post?
The "Air ADCs", that is the 4-stars, I think keep theirs. The lesser mortals, usually gp capts, keep theirs only for the duration of the post.
Marham's Staish is - ISTR - always one, for the Stn's "Sandringham Airport" function; similarly Northolt. And they don't keep the ADC post-nominal either.
Those ones have their appointments and relinquishment both gazetted. There's an Annex at the back of 1358 explaining the different types of aigulettes, i think there are 4 or 5 different varieties.
