Ah yes. I checked Wikipedia, subsequent to writing my post, and noticed the RAFVR was re-established post-war. (Must remember... 'check spelling... check grammar... check Wikipedia'!). Thanks for that. Also noticed on Wiki that the 'VR' lapel badges were discontinued because they were deemed to be divisive. The VRs tending to be looked down on by the Regulars and Auxiliaries... which was pretty surprising, since half of Bomber Command aircrew were VRs by the end of 1941, and c.95% by the end of the war.
