As well as wearing "Blue" uniform, sometimes cadets have to wear "Greens".
There are also referred to as DPM's, which stands for Disruptive Pattern Material
(or 'camouflage' to the mom military!)

Unlike the Blue uniform this kit is not provided to the cadets by the RAF. It may be issued from individual squadron stores or more normally is bought personally from a surplus store.


As there is so much available and so many different types of kit i have listed below the most common types available and some of their features. Everything listed on this page is siutable for cadet use, even if some is older than others.
