You're telling me that at BRNC in 2002-2003 some Divisions wore black cap covers? Sorry but that is utter cra*.
There is no such rule or regulation, its urban myth writ large.[/quote]
In a word, yes.
At least one Cunningham Squadron Senior Div (Starling?)- inhabited by the infamous GW and his pipe smoking, smoking jacket wearing, beard growing acolytes in the January term. Approved by the Commander, went on for several weeks. Then again, Warspite Division (?), St Vincent Sqn, September Term.
Like I said, exhibitionist and silly, but it did happen. It wasn't "one of my mates" that saw it, it was me.
The covers were sold for £10 a go by Tom Dent.
