Having read a few threads in here it seems that the RAF Tartan enjoys a high degree of appeal, here is my take on it all.
Being an Englishman with a name that has no Scottish connotation the question of entitlement to wear a kilt does trouble me and so, as a 24 year RAF Regiment soldier I felt that there was an entitlement. Now I know that the whole entitlement thing has recently lost any of its weight and a more liberal attitude towards it all has taken over but still, in order for me to justify it there has to be a link.
So, why even bother? well my fiancee, a dyed in the wool highlander (pun semi intentional) and also Ex RAF is about to make an honest man of me. It was whilst both serving in Cyprus that we met and we have booked to return there and tie the knot. We will have a piper.
I feel it to be an homage to her and her heritage to dress myself traditionally and to that end I will be wearing:
black prince charlie and vest, Mess dress 'golf ball' pattern embossed shirt and black bow tie.
RAF tartan kilt, not military cut, with a black and silver calfskin dress sporran
Cream socks without adornment, teal tabs.
Issue brogues, burnt down and 'bulled'.

How does that lot sound?

Now... would it be over dressing to add miniature medals? I have omitted the Plaid which came with the kilt that I got second hand off ebay.

I would like to add a device as a kilt pin that alludes to my RAF Regiment service as an addition to the generic RAF tartan but ebay and google seem to have no leads on that.
I would welcome any input on anything I have written here be it positive or 'developmental...'
Cheers all
Tim.
