For Christ's sake, didn't we go through this nearly 20 years ago. Got diverted into Leuchars off a Lightning QRA scramble many moons ago and met an F4 mate in the crewroom who seemed to have put on more than a few pounds. Turns out he was wearing his No 1s under his goon suit as "he who's name cannot be mentioned in air defence" had decreed blues if not flying. Haven't we got more important things to deal with than trivia like this? If those in command are struggling for other motivational ideas, how about parades on Saturday morning? Why do they get paid so much? Trust them about as far as a bank manager!
