I wasn't suggesting making fire retardent clothing mandatory, there are to many rules as it is, just it would be better if our safety culture was more accepting of coveralls and gloves, and that students were more aware of appropriate clothing.
I remember there was an AIC on this years ago, following on from the Falklands conflict and a flying club ordered new unforms at great cost, only for the intstructors to refuse to wear them because of the sythetic fabric!
Incidently, one of the crew in the Salford accident who had 70% has now died.
