Didn't the boots, lightweight, tan come in with the Bulldog as the normal boots could get caught on the rudder pedal adjusters?
I was once in Cyprus waiting to fly the FunBus back to the UK, wearing the normal black boots which weren't ideal in the summer sun. Some staff officer asked me why I wasn't wearing the lightweight boots - and I told him the reason. Which was that our Sqn boss didn't like the colour, so we were ordered to wear black boots. Said staff chap got rather peeved "We don't spend time, money and effort developing clothing items only to have them rejected on some sartorial whim!", he told me. So I thought bugger it, I'll wear the comfier lightweight boots and pass on his comments to the Boss if he queries why I'm wearing them.
Which I did. There wasn't much you could say to that, was there Jim?
Didn't do much for my ACR, no doubt....
