Hi-dome staybrite - 1969?
Optional duck egg blue/green shirt - 1970?
Wedgewood blue shirt - 1973??
Thunderbird jacket - 1974
Wings on wooly pullies - 1978?
Beret - last worn in 1974. Never again!!
Windsor knots were forbidden at my school. But at RAFC they were mandatory.
Then there were the joys of the single-ended bow tie with Mess Kit - as well as the stiff-fronted shirt, white waistcoat and wing collar, which fortunately all disappeared in the early 1970s except for Royal occasions. I only had to wear that hideously uncomfortable 'formal' No 5 dress once, thank heavens!
