and they are all in the parachute regiment except one. I wonder how many jumps they have to make to qualify for their wings?. I even seen young women at immigration with loads of medals and wings.

FYI .... Wings pin on police, army and immigration are varied with some being for actual jump training from planes, some for simple tower jump training and nothing to do with parachute regiment which are normally clothes badges.

One could be facetious and say if TAT wants to know where the Russian tourists have gone , perhaps a check on the jails would help , but I wont.

???? not sure in what way facts about pin-on badges is apologising for anything or anyone but since it was my own post I won't delete your reply to it ....

looks to me like a black russian

he does not seem so distraught .. maybe one of them stolen millions could get him on bail and do a runner

Whi is the Russian looking at and why is he smiling ? Perhaps the copper who will let him use the boys room by himself afterwards ?

He does not look worried at all or his feet is being tickled under the table.
