No.

Yes.

Rough rule of thumb - Royal ADC = Right. Others = Left.

Good aides? Or bad aides?

Wearing gold braid on service dress/no.2 looks effing stupid.

It's been over 20 years since marmite motorway drivers were officially allowed to serve: surely by now someone could have asked them for some style tips?

Aide de Camp?

They can't swim. They attract enemy radar. They attract sharks. They insist on sitting at the Captain's table. They get up late, they nudge you while you're shooting. They.....muck about.

True, that was the navy but I think we all know what it means.

That's his Needlework badge.

UK Forces in Ukraine? Looks like the Union Flag and Ukraine's national symbol to me.

Well checking 'that' badge on his right shoulder... I'm not going to tell him he's wrong, in case he decides I might want to wear it tightly around my neck.

 

[hairymonster1006]

i think that one of the loops of his aiguillettes, hanging by his waist should have gone through his epaulette. It seems Boris's MA doesn't have an ADC, what has Royal come to?

It look similar to this, albeit different shoulder.

Here's another

Edit: Damn, you guys like to make things complicated.

Aiguillettes

There are dits.

You go tell him; I’ll inform your family they’re unlikely to find your body any time soon.

I think actually the entire thing should be attached higher up under his lapel.

But I’m still not going to tell him.

It looks gash. He looks like he's been bukakke'd by a horny bullock.
