PP,
I'm aware of that, and no - I have not visited Bastion. And having once been personally bollocked by Mike Jackson for being the only person in theatre with hair longer than him I have no issues with defending a bit of flex. But Harry is invariably like that - certainly that I've seen - hence my use of the word 'another'.. whether on ops or in Chelsea.
I accept that I might be at odds with modern hangar Floor sentiment. Which is fine. Your attitude in general and towards Hinecap in particular makes me think its a 'them and us' device, which is fine too and has a use - certainly on ops. But whats it for again, raising the profile, making money, creating Esprit de Corps or generating a grass roots groundswell?
I still think it looks crap in uniform mind.
