Aaah, the old sweat KD shirts. They changed the collars in 84 or so, and the pockets too and because the new ones were crap, everyone would go to the surplus place in Limassol harbour to get the gear which had been already thrown out, and wear that . The shop keeper would wonder what the hell was going on.. all these Brits, coming in to pay for uniform which had been thrown out. Recycling ahead of its time.

OG trousers too, suffered a similar affection.. and don't get me started about the merits of a decently worn in set of lightweight DPM. Aircrew socks were the dogs knob.

What does 'S' mean? As long as they were kept on the sqn and out of sight and no one took the piss by going in them to SHQ?
