My only objection to blues is that I have to pay to wear them. The reluctance of some officers to do this sufficiently frequently means we don't always look as we should!
Personally I far prefer to wear blues; I find them perfectly adequate in the environments I work (ops room/office) and I think mutleyfour is probably close to the truth regarding cost of CS95. The only snag I ever had with No2 itself s requirement to go long-sleeved with ties in the winter and someone high-up saw sense.
Fundamentally, though, if I'd wanted to wear greens/DPM/Dark Blue all the time I would have joined one of the other Services. Surely this was one thing we in the junior Service ALL knew before we joined the RAF? So why all the unhappiness now?
Just one thing before I get my coat, the British Army has many more 'uniforms' than the RAF; just think of all the different regiments for starters!
