We used to p*ss the stn cdr off big time. The old Mk 4 flying suit (temperate climate) was a shiny slate grey/dark blue rather than the (tropical) lighter blue one which soon became grubby.
Mr Staish decreed that all flying suits were to be badged, one light blue was for airshows etc and the dark slate grey one was for VIP visits. To a man we all refused and reserved the grey/blue - no badges - for QRA.
Flying Clothing used to write big identifying marks on the label - which we then cut out
. When they painted the outside of our bone domes with COTnn we went ballistic and made them remove all the markings.
OK, a big smoking hole in a Russian city and a bedraggled airman in a blue romper suit might have been a bit of a give away.
