BAME potential pilot: I really really want to be an RAF pilot and serve my country. I'm prepared to attack enemies of the state, even if that means dropping bombs on my ancestral home, BUT.....I don't think they'd welcome me, so I won't bother applying!
RAF HR Dept. (war fighting, not for the use of): Despite the fact we have in the region of 65 applications for every 1 pilot job, not enough are from the BAME community. This needs to change, so we'll send a non-white male to the Top Gun premiere!
BAME potential pilot: Wow! There was a non-white female pilot at the Top Gun premiere last night. That changes everything, the RAF must be an inclusive employer, I'll apply straight away.
RAF Recruiting Website: THIS ROLE IS CLOSED FOR APPLICATIONS!
Duty rumour on pilot forums: The RAF pilot role will be closed for applications for 2 years potentially.
BAME potential pilot: BUGGER!
RAF top brass: We might of played ourselves a little here!
