Blues at Brize II
Just to put my oar in before it goes to bed, flying suits are no 14 uniform, as has been stated. When the rules were relaxed about wearing uniform outside, I distinctly recall that flying suits were singled out as not being permitted to be worn downtown. The only acceptable uniforms are no2 and no3 (DPM). No1 as well, I suppose, but I don't recall that. The point of whether you do or don't is a moot one; you are not allowed. End of arguement. There is no real reason behind this, but its clearly written - no flying suits in public places (town shows, airshows etc excepted). For what its worth, I've been aircrew for 17 years and I still don't think it looks right off stn. Just my opinion!
Having been aircrew for nearly 30 years I still feel uncomfortable being seen off station in any sort of uniform, but I suppose that stems from the more security conscious days when the IRA thought it was fun to murder as many servicemen as possible.
What really does look a bag of sh*t is DPM/CS95, I've never seen anyone look smart wearing it and I understand they're going to make multi engine crews fly in it?
