Royal Air Force Tartan
There was an Air Training Corps pipe band playing at RAF Leuchars Battle of Britain day on Saturday. I didn't manage to photograph them over the crowds but they were a motley crew with some in their blue serge ATC uniforms and a few wearing kilts in a tartan which I hadn't seen before but which seemed to tone in well with the air force blue unifroms. Been doing a bit of research today and found this link which illustrates the tartan and confirms it is the official Royal Air Force tartan.

Curiously they have a photo of this band on their website but then they ask if anyone knows the name of the band.
As the son of a former RAF airman and myself a former ATC cadet, guess I'll have to think about getting a kilt in this tartan!!
