Seen one of the Royal Dukes - Kent or Gloucester - in RAF uniform with a set, on the balcony of Buck House recently

Much more likely to have been HRH Prince Michael of Kent, I suggest, whose eligibility to wear the wings of all three Services remains clouded in mystery - rather like his chum TCT and her RAF wings....

ISTR reading somewhere that PMoK gained his wings at some point in the early 60s, but via a course which involved instruction on a Chipmunk assigned to the Queen's Flight ; I'm sure that there was reference on here some while ago to his doing what was presumably a truncated course of some sort, including the name of his QFI. I suspect the sadly- departed Coffman Starter was the source of the info.

Prince Michael of Kent. Not sure where or when he gained his wings, but here's a photo of him in RAF uniform sporting a pilot's brevet.
