The Observer badge, according to a long dead ex-Air Force friend, was referred to as the "flying a###hole".....
He joined our NZPAF (New Zealand Permanent Air Force) in 1937 and, when war was declared in 1939, he was told he had to carry a sidearm. His first sidearm?
A WW1 German Luger of which many had been taken as trophies during WW1. You couldn't make this stuff up......
Force's humour reigns supreme!
