I didnt see this but hope to catch up with it later. I remember as a young PO in 1965 being in a group getting a pep talk on what was expected of an officer from an Air Commodore who told us we should always wear a clean collar every day. Obviously you missed that talk P-N I bought my first collar attached Van Heusen shirt in 1965 so I could wear it in shirt sleeve order, as the standard bib front shorts didnt have epaulettes for rank slides.

Uniform details on TV/films have got better over the years but obviously not quite right yet. Things have improved since the costume department on The Longest Day couldnt quite decide which way the diagonal stripes went on the DFC and AFC for Richard Burton's uniform, so compromised and had the DFC going one way and the AFC the other!
