IMHO, the most useful piece of headgear for aircrew. SD Caps get 'Trashed' in FJ cockpits. Leading to the 'Combat' caps, which used to upset the 'B' word! (Mind you, that makes it worthwhile, on it's own!)

I don't know why, but RAF Berets only look OK on the Regiment, and particularly pointy SH Chaps.

Cyprus made Thunderbirds Cap, Obviously worn at a jaunty angle is ideal for the out and about Rocket of Doom driver.

Don't leave it in the crewroon tho, someone will soak it, and pop it in the freezer...... never fails to amuse.

Advo

PS: An added advantage, is that 'Stateside' many see you as a 'Full Bird' !!! They really should learn a few ranks from their allies!
