    I am not being churlish here, but do you really think that he is wearing the kilt well?
    I would like to give him the benefit of doubt? due to the nature of the pics seen, action shots and possibly not the best fitting rig.
    As he would no doubtly square himself away at the first opportunity
    being ex RAF, he will know better.
