Yellow Shirts
It seems that my home base (Gamston) has now jumped onto the band wagon by insisting on all pilots wearing yellow bibs when walking across the apron on the grounds of "safety".
How does this improve "safety" ?
Am I less likely to be run over by a pilot who is supposed to have A1 vision and driving a multi decibel machine, or survive this incident just because I am wearing a luminous vest?
Curious on the actual accident rate regarding being mown down whilst walking across the apron, can anyone advise?
Sounds like another "Nanny State" rule coming in just because the next airfield is doing it as well rather than actually sitting down and thinking it through.
I will of course go with the rank and file and wear my yeller coat with everyone else after my little rant,
