In an effort to improve staff morale, the Imperial Airways management imposed a three line whip "Dress down day" every Friday.
But Croydon Airport at 4 a.m. on a chilly day in November 1930 wasn't universally accepted as either the place or time to start the fun.....especially as the tanker drivers were on strike.

Look at that asshole with the obscura thingy. No doubt someone will look at this in 80-90 years and wax lyrically about the good old days of air travel. Knobs!
