Sailors offer RAF a slice of life in the RN| Royal Navy (http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/News-and-Events/Latest-News/2012/June/20/120620-Daring-Cakes) :E

That's a nice story - I love it when the smallest service makes an effort!

Dressing up and cakes - the RN equivalent of a show of force.

Talk softly and carry a big stick?

Nice to sea the Sea-nior Service is still making an effort even though it is a bunch of waffoos.

In days of old when knights were bold we had 'rum, bum and baccy'.

The rum has gone, the baccy has gone so I wonder what was on the recipe!

Do they still make kye with proper condensed milk?;)

Beware the 'Golden Rivet' !! :E

Mmmmm, but it's not going to help my run test...

Plenty of Harrier mates around to tell what it's really like to be a guest on HM war canoes. 'If it was good enough for Nelson, it's good enough for us.':ugh:

Saw the name of the thread and expected Merlin crews to be the subject matter.

Oh hum.......

I like the motto there. You ain't seen muffin' yet. Sorry. Stray apostrophe.

I must confess to a chuckle when I saw the thread title.

From my youth ISTR that the phrase "a slice of sailors' cake", meant something quite different..........! :eek:

So, left to right, we have Lt Cdr Mike Bailey (in flash), LA(Phot) Jenny Lodge (in No.4s), Lt Dom Veal (in a once-only survival suit), PO(Phot) Alex Cave and LA(Phot) Steve Johncock (in tropics) and Lt Paul Rowntree (in HMS Daring's wardroom evening rig).


Nobody in an M&S suit, I notice ;)

Yes, I was a bit worried when I read this: In the JARIC team's case, the sailors determined to introduce the crabs to wets and stickies.
