Default Watchkeeper TUAS brevet

A recent discovery on the internet was a set of minutes for the Army Dress Committee for 20th November 2014 which discussed the Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (TUAS) brevet.

The minutes noted that it was the second time the Committee had been asked to approve the concept and design of a brevet to be worn by qualified Watchkeeper pilots.

In approving the design attached the Committee agreed that any brevet must cover not only Watchkeeper but all appropriate and future TUAS. The badge was authorised to be worn in perpetuity by all ranks in uniform.

The design of the badge is similar to that worn by Royal Artillery Air Observation Post pilots from the late 1940s until the formation of the Army Air Corps.

Has anyone seen an example of this new brevet worn or can illustrate a real version?

Default Army Wings

I've had these examples for well over 20 years - I have no idea who would have worn the variant with no title scroll. Mike
