A scruffy ATCO? Surely not!!
 

Back in the late 70s.. I was in London to sit ATPL writtens... accompanied by a BHX ATCO doing the same. Walking between tube stations we stopped and sat on a low wall to take a break.... at which point his pompom hat fell to the footpath. So scruffy was my companion that passers-by started dropping coins into his hat!! No names here eh Eugene? :ooh:

It`s obligatory to wear in Ukraine. consists of dark-black suit, blue shirt and stupid tie.
ones u appear at work without any part of uniform - your supervisor>>you will have only 80% of salary for the next month
can`t say that it`s comfortable to sit and to sweat for hours in it.

I googled uniform and these came up?!!! :eek:
Any takers?

thames radar?

Looks like C watch!

Due to inevitable fire risk, any uniform would have to be natural - wool, cotton or silk, to fit in with the PC fire risk strategy.

Man made materials (with a flashpoint close to that of paper) might be prone to spontaneous combustion, with the inevitable production of noxious toxic fumes (particularly if worn by pikeys).

Expect a well researched company notice on this imminently. :}

....the calm under pressure look?

Traffic Traffic as you know I need the slings over my shoulders to hold up the weight of the equipment.:}

Eric that's your mother you're thinking about. When you look in the mirror don't you see we look alike?

Especially the ones on your sector :}

"I was wondering why a standard uniform has never been established for controllers to wear?....with it's own epaulette system! One stripe for trainee's, two for ATCO's, three for SATCO's etc. "

I think that in the past EGNT and IAL (OMAA/OMDB etc.) had uniforms, which were awful. So, in 2009 the answer is simple: nobody would wear it :).

TrafficTraffic,

Nice weather where you are, did you really need 5 maps to find your way around.

Yes and somewhere on the road I lost an hour....

probably find it somewhere near the rest of your mind :ooh:

Uniforms for controllers
 

<P>Hi guys.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>During the years before WW2 a great debate took place within the Air Ministry as how the "Controllers" at Croydon should be perceived.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>It was decided that as the pilots had uniforms that confirmed their status the ATC bods should have the same.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>A uniform was designed and 10 wire badges&nbsp;were made to enhance their uniforms.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>However, due to restrictions placed on the&nbsp;budget of the ATC service they were never implemented.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>If you want to know more, ask me.</P>
