He’s never been an RAF Pilot so is incorrectly dressed - if he was then his name would be in the London Gazette. It isn’t apart from his honorary appointment. Unless the Defence Council have granted him permission to wear them (which would have attracted media attention at the time) then it looks like it is pure bloating and Waltery.
You can find his Gazette entry here for his honorary appointment: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/...pplement/22837 His renewal is here: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/...pplement/20547 I can’t see a further renewal from September 2023 and so I suspect he is no longer dressing up in one of His Majesty’s finest uniforms. |
Interesting to see that publication in that those entitled to wear the wings badge aren’t doing so and conversely…..

The photo of him wearing RAF Wings has been removed from the RAFA site.

Can't make it out too well as I only have a small screen but it looks to me as though he is 'displaying' a KGVI wings badge with a QEII on his cap but I could be wrong.
