Arketip - you may have noticed that the origins of this thread refer to the changes to the flying badges worn by members of the Royal Air Force. You should also be aware that the RAF is one of the branches of Her Majesties Armed Forces. Not sure if you have ever been exposed to any form of military service but one of the tenets is to wear a specific uniform for a specific occasion, whether that be a day to day flying suit or perhaps your Numbet 1 uniform for a formal event. They key though is ‘UNIFORMITY’, as laid down in an appropriate document. If the thought of wearing a regulation uniform is unpalatable to you, then perhaps you are talking to the wrong people?
