Bluntedat Birth, thank you for confirming what I said in post 112 at 1418 yesterday.
The amount of money 'lost' if free blues were issued as well as free greens is insignificant. When it comes to replacing No 1s becasue of too many free pies then it is no contest. The tax relief for a number 1, 22% or 40%, means the officer is well out of pocket compared with the airman.
Also there is the cost of kit insurance to consider.
So let all have free uniform and then at least we could all be as smart as the starving airmen.
