R.A.F. Moustache Cut To sin
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, October 19. The future of one of the R.A.F.’s most splendid moustaches is poised on a razor’s edge. Corporal David Evans, a 27-year-old physical training instructor, was told by an offi-
cer: “Cut down your moustache; it's too big”. He paraded next morning with the pride of his face shorn by half, and the officer approved. But Evans’s wife, Margaret, aged 25, was furious. She will write to the new Minister of Defence (Mr Dennis Healey) asking if her husband can re-grow the moustache. Sivt said at their home in
Wyton, Huntingdonshire: “My husband has had a moustache since he joined the R.A.F. at 17. It was part of his personality and I want to see it back to its full glory again." The moustache used to spread luxuriously across Corporal Evans’s upper lip and merge with his bushy side-bums. Now it has been cut back to about sin from tip to tip, and the side-bums are gore.
