Of course BV has a different view from the other 95% of the RAF. By their free GroBag and optional Leather Jacket (with colourful badges) shall ye know them. 👎

Some Trades require work overalls, which are not normally worn striding around the Station. Others work in less grubby environments, and wear on a daily basis the No. 2 Dress so eschewed by BV and his ilk. Or, indeed, in my early days, No. 1 HD … a heavy personal expense for young officers.

Sorry, BV, I don’t visualise a huge sympathy vote for your elitist perspective.

BUT … I do agree with the idea of wearing MTP as standard. It might help remind some people that it’s a Fighting Service, not a sub-set of the RAC.
