Why not change the rank structure of the armed forces as well? 'Air Commodore' sounds a bit naval me thinks, a sort of posh chap with a yacht club blazer, beige flannels and an aeroplane?
And as for 'Air Vice Marshal'....
Everybody wears the same uniform, Naval, Army and Air Force - saves a fortune on uniform procurement, and nobody has any rank at all- the biggest guys get their way! RSMs & SWOs are exempt from this rule - they get to clean the bogs for a change!
Uniform to be a trendy, 21st century sort in a dull grey canvas material (So as not to offend anybody)- designed by some arty ponce just out of uni. Senior officers drivers are a thing of the past, and now they have to drive themselves in the station Smart car.
Salary dependant on how much you do. Pilots get the most, Yachties get almost as much, Grunts next and the blanket stackers & MOD policy chaps get naff all..
And traditions dating back to medieval times ? Forget it. They may just offend somebody
