They are not ‘Brevets’ by the way. The correct term is a ‘Flying Badge’ as described in King’s and Queen’s Regulations over the years. The term ‘Brevet’ was actually the French word for a certificate or diploma and was taken from the FAI certificates originally given to Pilots prior and during the first world war. Getting your brevet literally meant getting your certificate and not your Flying Badge.
