The wearing of fluorescent jackets by visiting aviators has nothing to do with avoiding accidents. This is small willy syndrome and is particularly endemic amongst wannabe international airports. In much the same way as one sees hard hats and, spookily enough, fluorescent jackets, displayed on the parcel shelves of faceless family saloons by hen-pecked Norman No-Friends who aspire to the rugged respectability of the construction worker or, Heaven forbid, the traffic warden (or is it police ****stable), so do airports of the stature of Exeter and Halfpenny Green (sorry, Dudley Executive International, isn't it?) use tools such as this to proclaim their greatness to the World. Or is it a noble attempt to reduce the appalling airside collision rate between aircraft and pedestrians that has grown at such an alarming rate in recent years? It has, hasn't it?
