You're lucky The Scottish Officer allowed you in his crewroom - we landed our VC10K at Leuchars once after a live Sparrow firing support trip for 43 and 'he' took a very dim view of 'visitors' in 'his' crewroom. So we put our cups down and walked over to 111 where we were made to feel welcome.

TSO apparently used to make his people change between landing and debriefing, then change again after briefing for the next trip.

They weren't even allowed to come in for Q in flying kit - or go home again until they'd changed.

I thought this mindless stupidity had been $hitcanned years ago? But it's probably to divert grumbles away from more serious issues such as failing to find Blackjacks 90 sec from Hull.......

Another duck nibble and push factor; not the stupid order itself, but the mind-numbing embuggerance of having to change several times per day for no good reason.

I feel very sorry for those serving nowadays............
