Where was it being worn, and I don't mean on the sleeve?

Just seen a video clip of it. 48 seconds in.
http://www.forces.net/news/british-soldiers-take-skies Only 8 Army personnel qualified to wear it so far. Confirm it's a black lightbulb on 16 AA Bde HQ DZ Flash (maroon/sky blue/maroon). Damn, another one to add to the wants list. Ian H

I notice they were awarded the RAF Half Brevet instead of the Army APJI Wings!
so another wing to add to your army collection. Last edited by Mike_2817; 03-05-17 at 08:08 AM.

Thanks for finding and posting the link. I wonder if the black parachute lightbulb on 16 Air Assault Brigade colours is worn as the DZ/FB/TRF of Number 1 Parachute Training School? The PJI brevet presented to the first eight qualified instructors seems to be on a khaki background for No2 Dress - perhaps there will also be a No1 Dress version - a very small production run! These eight are PJIs augmenting the RAF PJIs - presumably the Assistant PJI role continues to exist. Tim

Army PJIs
Watching the film closely, at the end during the award ceremony, a soldier wearing a small Pegasus on his left arm goes up. He appears to be wearing a white lanyard on his right shoulder, all pointing to a RHA member of 7 Para RHA. However the close up of the brevet then shows RSigs collar dogs. Is this just the film using a better close up sequence of somebody else or is a RSigs unit now also wearing the Pegasus on their No. 2 Dress?

It is worn as a TRF by the 8 PJI qualified pers who are all part of 16X and not 1 PTS. Although fully qualified PJIs, their role is to focus mainly on the ground training of paras. The APJI role has not been active for a few years now. I will try and confirm with PTS when they stopped using APJIS when back at work next week. One of the Army 8 PJIs is one of "my" AD guys. I can confirm the new wing is on a khaki background and a very small run of them was made. Regards Matt
