Totally agree, though this could bring the wrath of Pop about my head:
"Silly Hat, Silly Hat? You ought to look in a mirror sometime, Sunshine!"
Wasted photo, it should be on Caption Competition.

Hey guys what is all the fuss about??
As a certain Station Commander once said to me, "Its my trainset so I will do what I like with it!!"
Surely as CDS Sir Jock can wear what he likes!!

And there was me thinking rules and regs were for everyone regardless of rank. Well that's what we keep getting told when an outbreak of individuality or morale occurs.
I bet it was not having his wings on his CS95 that hurt more than wearing the beret ...seems to be a very senior officer thing.
As for the photo itself, well what can you say:
"I don't know if they taught you this in training son, but here's a handy tip I learnt as a Junior Officer - any more than a handfull and you're risking a sprained wrist"

Absolutely spot on mate! But in this case the train driver has made himself, most unfortunately, (and even though he's entitled to wear that beret/badge), look like a prat? And pocket undone, no wings, silly specs, chest-hairs unclipped! You would never've fessed up like that, even in that sandy place.

To hell with the hat he's wearing, did he visit the Aeromed ops, MERT and the CCAST people and thank them for their work moving the ill and injured out of theatre back to the UK and the teams in the Field Hospitals for keeping troops alive and in the best possible condition to move.
Thanks to Lawrence McGinty and his part in showing the team and the C17 crew repatriating those injured back home to the UK.
This is part the politicans never see, or chose not to, the consequences of commiting the the Forces to war.
Rant off.
