Hi Marc
I would agree with most of that.
One thought I had... how about wearing double (i.e. two) collar badges?
There are quite a few precedents RIF, Seaforth Hldrs, one of the Bns of the London Regiment. I feel sure there are one or two more.
This would mean we could see both the 9/12 (plumes on crossed lances, but no scroll) and the 16/5 (bicycle) side by side and no one feeling aggrieved at being left out.
This is an exercise in fantasy, endulge!
Best wishes
Gordon
