Dare I say during my time in the bunker (left early 02) it was quite the reverse - RAF wore light blue and Navy wore dark blue. Even the Army were encouraged to wear "Barrack Dress" rather than CS95 as, after all, CS95 was for wearing in the field and aren't (weren't) there shortages of such kit. Maybe they were didn't want to wear their purple trousers and M&S jumpers?!
And then it all changed when a certain ex-viff viff mate arrived as the 1* who insisted on wearing CS95 .... with his wings sewn on the shirt .... and wearing a white t-shirt underneath .... and with his flaps still on his boots (and there was an entire thread dedicated to him and his dress code not long ago ....!) - to be fair, I think the dress code depended on which cloth CJO belonged to.
Still, did him no harm. Less than 5 years later he will be a 4*!
