The Royal Air Force 2012 - Video

[SRENNAPS]

My daughter has just shared this YouTube video of the Royal Air Force with me. I thought some of you would like to see it. I personally think it is very good.:ok::ok:

The Royal Air Force 2012 - YouTube

The only thing is that it is a shame that the quality does not seem to go higher than 360p.

I do apologise if it has already been posted. I had a good search but could not seem to find it here.

Nice to see a Tornado F3 sneeking in at 3mins 40secs ish! :ok:

I know that we're still using a couple of F3s at Boscombe for BVRAAM "Meteor" trials, but how is it that our PR Team continually c0ck things like this up?

Yes that and 10 year old footage of JSF too....

Nice to see so many turning up for their Fitness Test

[Schnowzer]

Yeah let's take out BBMF too....:ugh:

[Bob Viking]

I, for one, thought it was bloody good. It makes you realise we're not such a tinpot organisation after all when you see all the kit on display.

2012 - Is that the year or the manning strength?

[SRENNAPS]

Quit your whining.

Bob V, Thanks mate :D:D, I thought exactly the same. As proud of it now as I was proud of it when I joined in 78.

Mr Viking,

Couldn't have summed it up more perfectly. The entire RAF inventory in one video.

[mickey dee]

They can’t have got it all wrong this time, it cheered up one old cynic on a rainy afternoon!
A big improvement on some from recent years.

[downsizer]

Where did they get the servicable sentinel from:}:eek::p

The entire RAF inventory in one video

Tucano?

Nice video though - all very 'Spooks'.

[LateArmLive]

Loving the airburst 540 at 2:42...not sure we're still using them in 2012.

But I'm shocked to see no sign of the Typhoon until nearly 90 sec in - that just wouldn't have happened even a few years back.

Try THIS one if you want the latest up to date video.
Unfortunately, if you aren't on FACE BOOK then you need to get yourself up to date to view it!!

Brilliant. Thank you.

[tezzer]

As "AGILE" fed in, I was waiting for FR to creep in from the left hand side of the screen.

[sisemen]

Must have had to wait for months to film a serviceable and airborne Timmy. :E

Good video nevertheless :ok:

[whowhenwhy]

Tezzer, thank you it wasn't just me then...

Did prefer the Presentation Team effort actually.

[SRENNAPS]

Ehmmm, Was just looking at the video again on YouTube and at the end came across this. I don’t think it has been seen here before as it is quite new.

I have my opinions on it but I would be intrigued by everybody else’s:

Horrible Histories - RAF Pilots Song - YouTube

I think it's brilliant. I love Horrible Histories and it's rightly won quite a few awards. What a great way to get kids interested in history. Just before this musical interlude, in the same episode, there was a sketch on the Baedecker Raids of 1942. I never learnt that in school so the best of luck to them!

[Phil_R]

This thread must be fairly famous; I was linked to it by someone who probably couldn't spell "RAF".

Don't get too excited, though. It's just a montage.

The HH vid has just cost me a keyboard - coffee now drying out while I type on the stand-by version! Brilliantly funny - however, I have seen better 'moves' in the Mess on a Friday night.
As for the PC version - "Agile, Adaptable and Capable" - bet there were a few expecting to see 'AAC' pop up next.....which would have been rather funny for the Teeny Weenies!

What 3 words could they have used instead to spell 'RAF'?
Sensible (if sickly) suggestion:

Ready
Audacious
Flexible

or maybe:

Reduced
Abused
Fatigued
