The original suggestion concerning the wearing of Wings on the woolly pully was actually a spoof proposal penned by a Scampton Vulcan captain.
Officialdom took him seriously and soon we had to comply.
Unfortunately the barathea No2 uniform as worn by V-bomber and Lightning aircrew had been withdrawn and the hideous replacement version found little favour.
The woolly pully went through several iterations, but the worst was the V-neck version worn with a shirt and tie. The last time I'd had to wear such a uniform was at prep school...
