LLLLLOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR.It's quite simple really.
1) You don't want people wearing all types of different sunglasses?Then hows about YOU get the rules changed so that the issue specs are half decent, as currently they put the RAF to shame (even if they are tested to 25g and capable of surviving a rapid depressurisation at 76000' blah blah blah). No civvy in their right mind would encourage their offspring to join a company that makes a walking mockery of spec wearers!
2) Don't like aircrew with sleeves rolled up? YOU organise a decent flying suit that is comfortable in warm weather (not like the "new" design, which, after years of careful research and ££, is a different shade of green!).
3)Hands in pockets? I concur, it looks a little sloppy at times. Here you are sla*ging off the Americans, saying we don't want to look like them; THEY DON'T HAVE HIP POCKETS IN THEIR FLYING SUITS! They are better dressed than us when it comes to flying wear.
4) Anyone seen with a crease in their flying suit should be immediately sent to PMA. YOU DON'T IRON FLYING SUITS!!!!
5) Smoking in uniform? Sounds like the comments of a non-smoker to me. Smoking isn't BAD, it's a choice. Anyone small minded enough to slate the RAF because some of their personnel "SMOKE", is obviously as An*l Retentive as your self!
6) Mordernise. We ain't in 1923 (or whenever it was you joined) anymore. Fashion has changed, and the RAF should be seen as up with the times, in all respects.

That is all, Carry on.
