I was at Odiham this week and felt like a crusty old fart when I caught myself actually feeling pleased to see so much smartness on display!
Though I dare say not enough 'blue' and way too much green or variations of the same, despite comments published in clothing regs by CAS a few years ago.
I like to consider myself one who wears a smart blue uniform, however the trousers are formally number ones, shoes of oxford pattern purchased at own expense, and a black silk tie purchased at own expense because the issued kit these days is rubbish quality. Being an aircrew chap one has several generations of jumper including the previous Vee neck plain weave version and it would still be in use were it not for a hole that chose a prominent position to appear; its replacement is also rubbish quality. Maintaining standards does not come cheap.
