In his biog it says he first realised he was an Engineer when during Officer training the DS said he was going to shove a red hot poker up his backside and at that point he decided to make a bolt for the door..

Could be the only spanner he's ever had in his hand! Would he know what to do with it. With no brevet he decided to hold a spanner so that people would not think him a "blanket stacker or a scribbly"
Which raises the question - what would other branch's non air crew Air Officers hold in their photos?

In my reluctantly-adopted Branch (Pers, formerly known as Admin (Sec)) it would be a chisel for a number of senior officers...and there would be a less-than-conspicous display of campaign medals on most of them!

IIRC there was a rather comical drawing circulating back in the mid 70's under the title of "Brevets for All" ... it contained a number of irreverent suggestions for RAF Half Wing Brevets ... the flying spanner and flying banana were certainly represented !
This was around the time of the woolly jumper entering service and the then debate on Aircrew Brevets being worn on the jumper
It would be great if anyone still has a copy to share
