Camera obscura is correct for the training item I remember on the airfield corner.
I went straight from the Magister to the Oxford. Never saw a Harvard in my training.
You're quite right about the brevet Danny. It was drab and I even have one still, that I cut from my old RAF jacket. However I always fancied my wings were golden - it added to the magic. Nevertheless, when I joined the RAAF I was given permission to wear Aussie wings. I have 4 sets, and three of them are golden! One for daytime, one summer mess kit, one winter mess kit. No.4 is a metal brooch, silver coloured, for pinning to Khaki shirt or jacket in tropical area.
