Hello,
I'm trying to get hold of an Airmen's forage cap and was wondering if anyone has the details of any suppliers? I've tried suggested sources to no joy so any help would be great!
Thanks
RR

Probably because he doesn't want to look like Frank Spencer - Ooh, Betty!

Berets are for pongos and Frenchmen with onions/garlic around their necks!
Also, he would probably rather have a c@nt on his head than look like a c0ck!

You will be wearing your black leather flying jacket next and Oxford shoes when in blues! (only cos you have narrow feet honest!)
On the same note, has any one had new number 5 and number 1 uniforms made lately by any one who they'd use again?

I had No1s done by Snaiths at Cranwell (see above) and they are fine. Just had new No5 (old one seems to have shrunk in the wardrobe) done by Mr Bhatti, the tailor at Uxbridge; his was the cheapest quote I could find, and the workmanship seems good - I suppose it should be, as he looks after QCS.
