Oh contraire my engineer chum, there is a very serious side to wearing a stablebelt, in combats with chiphat when on good old GDT, seriously used to piss off the Rocks, also a greatcoat on a cold winter's morn frequently helped the SWO bump start his shouty muscles - but it's issue sir.......happy days with a copy of the dress regs, we had to make our own fun them......etc
Edited to add 'bu@@er, Sir Percy beat me to the Reg bateing angle'

To add an aviation angle to this, CDS's manner of wearing a stable belt has exicted comment over on t'army means:
Not least since it appears to be an RM stable belt...

Not in Dress Regs because not an official item of uniform
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
OK, which way up. Blue Sky UP, Blood Red DOWN, OK.
Where do you fasten it? On the hip. Where does the buckle go? Dead centre on the stomach.
This of course only holds good for racing snakes when they buy their first belt and not slothful pythons where the buckle ends up adjacent to the straps
.
I also believe the stable belt is part of the No 2A dress, ie SD Hat, shirt sleeves down, and stable belt.
Certainly the stable belt was 'ordered' to be worn with KD.
Other than that, the belt loops were a nonsense. Even if you got big loops and buttons on them, by the time you unbuckled the belt, undid the buttons, got your trousers round your ankles, you would probably be too late for the
you set out for.

Problem with that buckle, it is the old style RAF Logo. No shiney new roundel, no sloping A or Y for Royal Air Force

Kengineer-130 - I fail somewhat to see the link to AVIATION anywhere here?
How about then, if the staff in ops look like a bag o'shat, less time will be spent on supporting flying operations and more time on dress lecturing, not everyone gets to wear a greasy overall

Holy crap..............
Maybe you should have a visit from Elton and David. Maybe they could advise you on how to lick the balls as well as suck on cock at the same time.

Speaking as someone who has worn both light blue and brown - to wear a stable belt with CS95 is the sign of the the biggest homma ever. CS95, or desert is that colour for a reason, not for some wanky belt to be worn over. Keep the sb for barrack dress, or risk looking like some RLC/R Sigs/RE/REME (delete as applicable) REMF. And whilst we're at it - burn the fekking TRFs - they're just as bad, if not worse. Sorry - rant over

Is it meant to be worn with a flying suit? Could keep the AT fleet looking slimmer...

Stable Belts
This particular bit of buffoonery really came in during the early 70's when the Rock Apes' star was in the ascendant.
As with the Engineers and other power brokers their day has passed.
Stop trying to be second rate pongoes and bin the silly thing.

Coprorate Barclaycard, Now that was a useful thing, sadly it has been replaced by the more stringent Government Procurement Card (GPC)
Can I buy stuff I need for work on a GPC, Yes, but I have to get permission from two different people if I need CD Roms and the Pens to write on them, BEFORE I am allowed to buy them. Then expect a snotty email from Daws Hill 'Why did you buy xxxx'.
