The guys on SS II (Oman) have been ordered not to wear their desert boots that they bought themselves and wear the euro climate ***** on any day flying boot jet cockpit for the use of issue kit.
Twas bad enough that the boys (girls??) had to buy suitable kit without this from up above.
Day temps at 41 and low 30s at night make for some pretty sweaty tootsies I would think. Wonder how many Condors will come back from Oman.
Anyone seen the Dragon Lights for the NVG sorties? or the fill for the GPS?
No, guess there still in England then!!

PS
Ref "Issue Flying Clothing", Soldier 95 is the "authorised" F/C for the SH crews. Tropical kit was NEVER procured, forsight what!
