I used go to the mess in flip-flops, the mac, and a brolly with boots, socks, and a towel underneath.
Yup, sounds like a flasher to me.....
Who remembers the 'sweater cashmere' mess kit spoof of around 1980? This was the 'new mess kit' for officers and had 'moleskin facings', gold wire wings / brevet and gold rank badge shoulder boards....
I
think it was organised by 115 Sqn around 1 Apr; they would sneak into the OM with a 'letter' for the noticeboard wherever they went for flight calibration duties. Detail was very good - even the visiting OM tailors' price lists were carefully amended to include 'sweater, cashmere, No. 5 dress'....
Caught out quite a few people!
