Gold Spitfire
Thanks for correcting the Spitfire Badge entry, but there is something not quite right in your recent edit to Royal Observer Corps. As a wholetime Observer Lieutenant Commander I was posted to HQROC in October 1988 as Operations Training Officer (Ops Trg) and it was after that time that the Personnel Services Officer (P Serv O) walked into my office one afternoon and dropped a brand new Gold Spitfire badge on my desk. She said "As Ops Trg you should be aware we are just about to issue these for the first time, it was an idea from the Commandant (Air Commodore George Black)".

You stated the badge was introduced around 1978 when the new uniforms were issued. But that is ten years too early. They were however awarded retrospectively to those with sufficient master passes.
