    Direct Entrant FS and WO? Would it work?

    No need for a local Greggs, they do frozen ones that I can take with me and cook fresh... the modern world is amazing! ATB from HTB!

    Direct Entrant FS and WO? Would it work?

    I'm not sure how successful it would be in attracting people who have already been out a few years, to rejoin. I've had 11 years out and not sure I'd give up the various freedoms I have gained since leaving, just to put a blue suit back on. Also, not sure that I'd be comfortable trying to slot...

    New RAF Uniform Proposal?

    I remember back in the days of Tornados at Leeming, a number of Squadron personnel did an exchange with the Frenchies and returned with a set of their "Working Uniform" by way of "the laws of Gizzit." It was a very practical pair of dungarees, with pockets in the knees for knee-pads, decent...

    New RAF Uniform Proposal?

    I think that and the stable belt are the bits of uniform that hark back to the "Tradition" part of the brief.

    New RAF Uniform Proposal?

    I've seen a pdf this morning that apparently shows the proposals for the new RAF uniform. Not sure how legitimate it is... but here's a screenshot of one of the proposals for "Working Dress." What's everyone's thoughts?

    NY Honours 2022

    A number of people have raised petitions asking for His Tonyness not to receive the award on Gov.UK. (not me... but a few that I know). Each time, the request is refused because "Awarding of Honours" is not up for debate. It then directs people to go to the "Honours" page... which only offers...

    NY Honours 2022

    Don't get me wrong, I'm an ex-liney and currently work offshore so I know how to use profanity. More importantly, I also know when not to use it. Oh, and I also know when there's no point arguing with someone. HTB

    NY Honours 2022

    Cat-techie Don't get me wrong, I fully agree with you... Saddam had to go. He had used Chemical weapons both in the Iran-Iraq war and against his own people in Kurdistan. He should have been dealt with in 1991. Although he had been at times obstructive in regards the UN Inspections, the...

    NY Honours 2022

    Certainly, David Kelly shouldn't have leaked info he had about the manipulation of evidence to 'sex up' a document... but he must have felt it was the right thing to do. Also, the resignation of Elizabeth Wilmshust from the AG's office was a display of "doing the right thing", when she felt...

    NY Honours 2022

    There certainly was someone pulling strings further up the chain of command to orchestrate a reason to go to war in Iraq... and it wasn't just the intelligence side of things.... which makes me think it was political and from the highest of offices. Firstly, evidence was used from an asset...

    Is Ukraine about to get messy?

    I do think that if Ivan is crazy enough to invade, he will get thoroughly mauled by the Ukrainian forces. Last time Russia invaded (2014) they were able to get a foothold in Donetsk and Crimea because everybody said "There's no way that Russia will invade" and the Russians wrongfooted everyone...

    RAF Carbon Neutral

    The problems of stretch and retention are a completely different subject to "Carbon Neutral". I think that whether we reach Carbon Neutral or not, the Airships will think everything is peachy and the lads love being in the RAF... whilst raising sign off periods to 18 months and wondering why no...

    RAF Carbon Neutral

    It doesn't mean that you won't be able to do things the old fashioned way with coal, oil and Avtur... it just means that you have to do something that makes up for it and try to reduce what you are creating. For example, some of the big Oil and Gas companies are now buying wind farms or...

    A new exhibit for the Harrier Mafia... at Bent waters Cold War museum.

    Hey Mug, I know this is a bit of a Necro-post... but we've had an A10 at Bent-waters museum for a couple of years now and we've recently reopened post Covid-Zombie-fest. Still working on the F5 though! HTB
