Greenronnie,
Apologies if I have put your proboscis out of joint
You are correct it did not relate to PF selection and it
related to changes of beret and no more which I noted
in the thread. Mea culpa just put it down to senility since
I can give you at least 30 years so WTF.

As a point
of interest several eventually badged SAS failed PF selection.
I am sending you a private e-mail on a related subject and
rest assured my broken proboscis is not out of joint.
