From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
After the Hercules accident in some Balkan $hithole or other not that long ago where escape from the burning wreckage was impeded for one of the aircrew because he was wearing Clockwork Squaddie 95 instead of approved flying clothing (and he was caught by the belt loop whilst trying to get out of the flight deck window), The Word went round that ONLY approved flying clothing was to be worn by aircrew.....

Has the RAF forgotten such basic lessons so quickly?

Why do you think it takes so long to approve flying clothing? It's not for reasons of sartorial elegance, "Me master race, you dung-eating grunt" or whatever. It's because there's an effing good reason.

Suggest someone send the tw@t who 'ordered' such bolleaux a copy of the Accident Report........

Before someone else nearly dies......
