The policy regarding the wearing of miniatures with evening dress will normally be stated on the invitation stiffy, PN.
As regards the wearing of No. 5s:
AP1358 Chap 10:
Civilian Functions
1010. At civilian and other functions, when the order of dress is not specified and it is known that more than one RAF officer will be attending in uniform, the senior RAF officer is to decide on the dress to be worn and inform the other RAF officers attending of his decision.
So if it's just you who is attending from the RAF, then go for it Ranger5. Particularly if you've got some rattly, clanky hardware to wear! But check whether other RAF mates are attending first.
Do remember that you might get cornered by some old "When I was in...." bores; however, the ladies will undoubtedly become rather moist, sir. Ooh yes, they will - suits you sir!
