Ricardian, agreed, I managed to aquire a KD raincoat.

I remember the spoof orders for new personnel to report to stores for ridiculous items such as tartan cotton and DPM paint: one of these items was the "KD Greatcoat". After some preparation by the section practical joker, one young man was sent back to the squadron with a storeman's brown overall coat complete with sewn on brass buttons!

Another green-horn was sent to be issued with his KD NBC kit - the "type with shorts rather than trousers" as was explained by his flt sgt.
