Mrs Wilkinson's knickers.
So another as BoB veteran dies. The big question arises. What to wear when going to war? Ken Wilkinson wore his wife's knickers round his neck. I can really sympathise with this. I know at least one Lightning pilot regularly wore his girlfriend's.
Ken Wilkinson, 616 and 19 squadrons. Dies at the age of 99. |
...which in the Lightning case probably had nothing to do with going to war!
Ken was a top bloke - met him at a Dining In night a few years ago when one of our female members was smitten with meeting a BoB hero. I think he quite enjoyed the attention (although the Stn Cdr was having kittens that she'd give him a heart attack!) |
I believe that something silk round the neck made screwing your head round (a vital attribute in a fighter pilot !) less scratchy than with a starched collar. One of your girlfriend's silk (no nylons yet) stockings (preferably used) was ideal for the purpose.
Clearly a pair of silk frillies would meet the requirement just as well. Or so I am told. |
So was the Battle of Britain the first European Thong Contest?
|
In a reversal of this, my wife, on a desperately cold day in Manchester, wore my aircrew double string vest under her wedding dress.
|
B-B, bet she was `itching` to get out of it as well....
|
One day I went to work with a pair of my wife's knickers stuck to the Velcro of the lower leg pocket of my flying suit. They became attached in the tumble dryer - honest!
I didn't get much banter for that of course. |

♫... "The girls all wear tin pants - But they take 'em off to dance" ...♫ Wouldn't have been any use for this purpose ! (and think of the compass deviation). THAT'S QUITE ENOUGH OF THAT. |
