Flying suit is not an official uniform - it is a "coverall" and therefore only to be worn at work.
****e! In that case I must have been incorrectly dressed for the past X years - I was supposed to wear my flying "coverall" over my blues!
For, cheesy, that is what coveralls do, they are a
cover for
all normal clothing. I think you'll find that the RAF No 14 uniform (i.e. flying suit") is designed to be worn over issued survival clothing - i.e. long-johns, vest and roll-neck shirt, not over my No 2 uniform. If I take my No 14 uniform off I will be unsuitably dressed to go out in public. If you take off a coverall you should be wearing clothing suitable to be seen in public underneath.
I know what some bitter "
I failed aircrew selection - but will never admit that I even applied" groundies will say - "
most of us only wear boxers and t-shirts under our coveralls". But that is personal choice. The coverall is designed to be worn over your blues, flying suits are not.
MadMark!!!
