Perhaps you may have already answered this one Danny, but, during your time on the sub continent what was the attitude to the wearing of uniform, as opposed to being comfortable or practicable? I only ask as I often fell foul of "dress regs" when operating as a GE with Albert airways some years ago. The lack of thatch on top meant that many, hot and sunny places made it necessary to don a protective hat to allow me to work, sometimes for many hours, on top of an engine etc. I particularly remember a VC10 captain who really "lost it" having arrived on his air conditioned wonder jet, and decided to give me both barrels. Of course, I was fixing a broken aircraft, you guys were fighting a war. Any reminiscences about dress, uniform and flying clothing ?
