I take all of the points on board, however....
When I joined in 1971, we were told in no uncertain terms that whether on or off duty, we still represented the RAF and all it stood for. That we should always set a good example and be a credit to the Force. I still feel that dressing in that manner whilst openly declaring the fact that they're members of the RAF doesn't shed a good light on them or the RAF. The open racism was an entirely different matter but still one of concern (I feel).
I can also understand that times move on but can't help but feel that standards have slipped one heck of a lot.
