As a baby MetMan arriving at RAF Nicosia on April 1st 1961 I was ordered downtown by S Met O to the tailor of choice.
KD: 4 shirts, military style, three shorts, three longs. We were permitted socks of choice, to distinguish us from serving RAF, but my long red climbing socks were banned rather early in the tour. I was the first arrival NOT to be issued with a handgun, as EOKA had more or less been sorted.

They subsequently made the Guide Captain uniforms for my child bride, excellent material and fit [Girls in uniforms .............. !!]

My KD was absolutely superb, and it lasted and lasted and lasted. The final shirt bit the dust in RAF Guetersloh c. 1971.
