You're on dangerous ground here. I give this thread about 24 hours tops.

Whilst the non-PC 'get your knickers on and make me a cup of tea' side of my personality longs to make a facetious remark and cheap joke the rational side must object to a rather ungentlemanly dig on your part. Perhaps these days ladies are recruited to the RAF based on their ability to do the job of an RAF Officer rather than the job of a catwalk model. Of course I know many who excel in both areas and a few who can do neither but I won't name names.

I don't think our WRAFs would be to impressed to be told that to be successful they have to be 'pretty little things' and provide eye candy to crusty old warhorses who long for the RAF of the 70s, nylon thunderbirds jackets et al.
