'Bog Standard Comprehensive' = 'Bog Standard Individual' = 'Bog Standard Officer' = 'Bog Standard Royal Air Force'; Is 'Bog Standard' a good enough standard for holders of HM's commission or is something extra, that little 'je ne sais pas', desirable? Discuss.

Not civvy - I vaguely remember the "rig" as uniform. 'Twas light blue with a darker blue edge on the collar - just discernable. Can't think of the lack of rank tho' ...

cant remember exactley when,either early 80s as SAC or late 80s as JT, but going to clothing stores for initial issue of rank slides. Up till then only rank badges for lowly airmen/women were cloth squares on flasher mac ,Thunderbird jacket ,No1s and tropical dress as above(not that I had one)

Comments on contemporary pulchritude do go against the spirit of EO, I consider. To discuss them in a public forum is inappropriate and this thread should be closed.
Although the thought of an officer having attended a comprehensive school? Good grief......

Perhaps this would be more to FFE's taste.

Perhaps these days ladies are recruited to the RAF based on their ability to do the job of an RAF Officer rather than the job of a catwalk model.
By the way, I remember a thoroughly dull holding post that was livened up by OC PMS who put in a call to Barnwood for a couple of Pilot Officers to liven the place up.
Understanding sort of chap!
Standards weren't very high in the fifties! I remember a one eyed fish gutter from Grimsby, who always won the Saturday night grimmy competition at Strubby - until she was disqualified for being too ugly!
