Deliverance, I'm not "wrong" - I'm giving you my _opinion_ as stated. I don't have any influence on Air Force policy! I am a civilian, supportive of the RAF, who doesn't want their personnel sniggered at!

If you wore LSJ, G-pants (and helmet?) you _would_ get a laugh, woudn't you! (And I think you know that dress would be _really_ inappropriate). I've used the words "appropriate" and "right" - maybe I should have been less polite and used the word "silly"!

My analogy of fireman in dayglo suit would be equivalent to blue 2 or dpm - comfortable (non-flying) normal working dress. The argument for wearing flying suits is, ISTR, the possibility of being pulled into the flying programme at short notice - this would not apply while shopping at the Co-op!

Please recognise that the audience at the Co-op is _vastly_ different to that at, say, an airshow. At one, the owner of a flight suit normally receives (deserved) adulation, at the other... ?
