G to be honest these people are pretty much standard now across the UK working at airports..
Last year, preflighting Chipmunk (well that's my excuse for the green growbag). Ops man charges half-way across aerodrome to castigate me for not wearing yellow jacket. Conversation something like this...

Me - 'I'm not wearing one 'cos I'm about to go flying'
Him - 'Well take it off in the aeroplane'
Me - 'Wait a minute...I'm wearing camouflage and you still spotted me from way over there. Aren't I conspicuous enough then?'

Serious sense of humour failure then followed

Suppose the guy was just doing his job.
