A number of years ago a (sadly long dead) helicopter engineer Terry Rowarth was having problems getting access to a Spanish airport where he was working.
He purchased what could best be described as an Argentinian band masters uniform.
Approaching the airport he was roundly saluted by all and waived through!!!
Which brings to mind the story previously published on this site of Chris Beltons epic flight over the Alps in a Donny aeroclub 152 straight after getting her PPL.
Wanting to look the part while flying a club aircraft she wore uniform style dark trousers and jumper e.t.c.
While visting the ladies at a French airport she was mistaken for the lavatory attendent.!!!!!
In some countries every job comes with a uniform!!!
