Has England completely lost the plot?
Would I be fined if I landed my NREG after arriving from Greenland and got out with no hi-vis vest?
Hell yes!
It's not just aviation...almost every industry has its Hi Vis Jacket regulations...
The jackets are now a fashion accessory, with the high street designers sporting them on their runways along with their summer catalogues!

Seriously though, I must admit, when I went back to UK for the first time in 5 years, I did have to chuckle at a bunch of builders wearing theirs in the pub whilst drinking a pint of bitter!
Yes...UK has lost it...
