But then they would be indistinguishable from ‘ordinary’ RAF personnel…? 👍 
Might prick the bubble of separateness elitism and disregard of service norms, discipline and ethos.
Actually I agree with you, reading the reports, perhaps it is time to ditch the “Blues” and dress the whole team in identical Red Growbags to form a coherent team and kick the Upstairs downstairs culture into touch, after all the BBMF all dress in black growbags when doing the show rounds. By continuing to wear separate “colours” it is carrying over their “elitist” toxic environment.
Reading what you can, I cannot see how you can reform the Sqn without a fresh start manpower wise, by retaining members of the current staffing their is always the chance of slipping backwards into the old habits.
With the state of the RAF manning and aircraft wise, perhaps the Reds are a relic of a bygone age that should be allowed to disappear in its current format and be replaced with something more in keeping with the RAF of today.
