We (the RAF) do corporately shoot ourselves in the feet sometimes.
A few years ago I was at the RAF Photograhic awards presentation in the RAF Club, and some amazing pictures there were too.
However, 2 winners in the "Portrait" category - and therefore subsequently widely exhibited - showed a male officer with his sword at the "present" (I think that's right - with the hilt in front of his nose) wearing gloves, brown leather; and the second showed a female officer with her hair down over her No 1 uniform collar. Good pictures but .......
Harrumph!
PS - I
like thread drift!!
