apparently I was supposed to wear Blue under my DPM. Who would have thought that?
One is unsurprised - sadly.
I was working in HQBFFI a few years after the War - probably '85-86'-ish, when we were visited by the RAF Staff College, then single-Service and at Bracknell.
Their "operational visit dress" was as follows:
DPM
Blue shirts - with ties.
Blue woolly-pullies
DMS boots - with puttees!!
And all topped off with SD hats!!
Oh how we laughed. As one of a minority of crabs in the HQ, took a lot of flak over that.......
