From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
Nevertheless, anyone who drives from Valley or Linton-on-Ouse to Shawbury and then puts on flying kit to go to the OM bar is indeed a total dork! Much as I used to share the RN's opinion of our blunty-blue RAC patrolman's uniform, I was surprised to learn on the JTIDS course at Boulmer that FJ crews actually used to drive up from places like Coningsby and then do the course in their green romper suits...

Shame that the awful RAF uniform is so shabby; the only other time I had to wear a V-necked pullover with a tie as my uniform was at prep school. Even my CCF (pongo section) uniform was smarter than the blunty blue rig.
