My late Father used to get annoyed about brass buttons in war films. He joined the RAF in 1945 and had bakelite buttons because brass was an essential metal. My personal pet hate is badly shaped berets. Badly shaped berets on models or in real life.....? Its a universal truth in real life that the higher up the rank structure the more helicopter landing pad the beret becomes......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I have noticed that the more senior a Cadet gets, the closer to their left ear the badge gets and the more like a flat cap it looks. I knew an Officer from the 17/21st Lancers used to wear his beret "tanker" style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malpaso Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Very impressive. Reminds me of a full page P-47 pilot portrait in a book I was given as a kid. Maybe some mission timings inked on the back of his hand? Of course school teachers were not impressed by my excuse for writing on my hand - that fighter pilots did it - but I thought it was cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much Mal as I did this for a friend he expressly asked me not to include any inking on his hand . Though had it been mine I would have . I also wanted to add an ACME thunderer whistle to his jacket collar but again time was restrictive of that , thank you for your kind words sir . Jim.
