Wearing uniform while off duty or on leave doesn't mean that we will be encouraged to wear the kit during our days off. The new regulation removes the bar from wearing the kit when dropping into a supermarket while travelling to/from our place of work, travelling in public to a meeting or, for the recruits, travelling home on leave. Its nothing more than that. The regulation against routinely wearing flying suits in public remains in place.
I recently attended a briefing, on my unit, given by an Wg Cdr from Innsworth, who had stayed in our Offs Mess the night before. He was wearing his civvies. The sooner this business stops, the better.
