Drifting the Thread - as y'u do, I find that tomorrow, my RAFVR(T) commission becomes an RAF Air Cadets (RAFAC) commission. This includes a new set of rank slides with 'RAFAC' rather than gilt 'RAFVR(T)' pins and a set of gilt 'RAFAC' pins for my No: 1 (buy, borrow or steal for your No: 5). It will also affect my business cards, headed paper etc.
However, apparently I shall get a new commissioning parchment. This will be a struggle, as the wall of the downstairs loo is already covered with a variety of these for not just myself but the current Mrs O-D, together with a photo of the last flying machine with which she was involved and the last heavier than air machine, with its revolving telegraph pole, with which I was allowed to play before being sent to fluff duvets in some distant shed.
