Some one has leaked it as A4 combat underpants were given a directive by a 3* to get something done on new uniform by 31 Mar 22. They are not happy with what they put together but it got the 3* off their backs. Most of this will never see the light of day as contracts will have to be set up, plus trials, dress regs ammended etc. If this comes arrives in the next 10 years i'll be surprised. Don't get me wrong we need some modern clothing to meet the 21 century but not looking like Starship Troopers or Thunderbirds/Captain Scarlet.
The TA for TG18 is at the bottom and he only took up post in 21.
Don't give them ideas.... Please.....Surprised the stable belt isn't rainbow colours to show diversity!
Consider the female of the species some of which are "ahem" rather broader in the beam than most airmen. Cargo trousers from Spanx and lycra?
2-3 weeks for trousers? If you only ever wore them on the five minute journey to and from work they never ever needed washing. Once at work it was denims over undercrackers or shorts if you were really posh.
I assume flying suits are issued as flying equipment rather than purchased from the clothing allowance by those that do.
Issued, but rather expensive to replac and need servicing twice a year.
