I do hope that the negative image caused by the bunch of scruffs to whom you refer wasn't too obvious to the general public.
At least in 2 Gp the rules for flying suits are clear - flying badge and name on the front and not more than one badge per sleeve! Hats are supposed to be worn - but the rolled up sleeve look is normally displayed by the same sort of people who have plastic spoons in their pen pockets.....
'Clean, smart and of uniform appearance' does not seem to have been the case at Waddo - and it sounds as though the Cranditz types certainly needed a good kick up the ar$e!
