Spangles
Spangles eh?
A little bit of triv here. If you look at a photo, or Simshed's excellent Shorts Tucano cockpit/VC, you will see lots of square black buttons dotted around the cockpit with illuminated writing on them. Apparently some RAF chap developing the Tincan for the service saw a resemblance, and they've been called "spangles" ever since.
