RAF Christmas Tree

[Ewan Whosearmy]

Not content to stop at branded pants and knickers, it looks like the RAF is shoring up an already excellent product range that really takes the brand to new heights.

John 11:35

I can't wait until they produce a V-Force Cold War one. Heat and light your house in one flash.


The tree, the planes, the buildings and the people are all sculpturally handcrafted in three dimensions and meticulously painted by hand. This individual attention means that no two trees are exactly alike, making each a unique one of a kind.
A replica model of a Vulcan actually ‘flies’ around the top of the tree
At the flick of a switch, the star at the top of the tree and the buildings in the branches illuminate, bringing your tree to life with a warm, festive glow. A millisecond later the whole will become incandescent and you will bask in rapturous warmth as a new sun is born.
Each illuminated Christmas tree sculpture is an exclusive edition and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity
Your tree will arrive complete with an AC adaptor for illumination. You can also power the Vulcan and tree lights with three ‘AA’ batteries (not included)
Measures 13 inches (33cm) high

[Romeo Oscar Golf]

Hey Wader,I want one. To whom and where do I send my money?:O

[ShyTorque]

I noticed it's very much in an authentic RAF style i.e. batteries not included.

[On_The_Top_Bunk]

Almost as nice as the clock.

I can't decide which to order...maybe both if I can stretch to it.

Oh dear just woken up.

[Al R]

http://www.pistonheads.com/inc/images/cloud9.gif .. mmm, nice.

Shy torque, perhaps the clock is even more authentic? '4 moving planes'.

[tubby linton]

They also do a cuckoo clock!

[Mr C Hinecap]

Chaps - what a find! I can't thank you enough! I am sending a link to our PMC - currently trawling for Christmas Draw prizes. Imagine how lucky you would feel to win such a masterpiece!

[StopStart]

"First-ever illuminated Christmas tree with flying Spitfire" ?? Surely not! Surely this can't be the first time anyone has ever thought of this natural combination? It certainly is a thing of beauty....



As an aside, one assumes this hideous piece of tat isn't endorsed by the RAF in any way, shape or form?

[Mr C Hinecap]

StopStart, erm......................

Unmistakeable RAF motifs, precision-handcrafted RAF emblems and laurels and a classic glass dome add further touches of refinement to this regal first-of-a-kind design. Officially endorsed by the RAF – order today!

:ok:

[Ewan Whosearmy]

SS

You can't use the words or the roundel in a commercial context without permission, nowadays.

So, someone in the RAF thought that they were a nice idea and that they convey the sense of excellence has so long been the preserve of the RAF. Presumably, he was a little distracted feeding his guide dog a biscuit at the time.

[airborne_artist]

Presumably, he was a little distracted feeding his guide dog a biscuit at the time.

Or maybe he was offered a few to give to his "friends and family" :\

[Ewan Whosearmy]

If true, AA, one can only assume that most of his friends and family are permanent residents of an old folk's home.

Speaking of which, I wonder what Beagle makes of them.

[StopStart]

Dear RAF Corporate Affairs

You utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter pikies.

Seriously though, have you people no taste at all? Raising the profile of the RAF? I get the impression that if they could get the "RAF Logo" on a turd they'd market it.....

Wouldn't a TriStar* with half the boxes & bits removed be a better example of an RAF Christmas Tree?:hmm:

* Other clapped-out AT types are available.

Remember the little marching soldier model - We Will Rock You?

How about a little leather jacketed CAS? Fly me to the Stars.:p

[orca]

This is the first thing i have seen rival the "Elvis Presley Tutankhamum Dambusters Clock", which although an absolute masterpiece was 'marketted' by Viz. Seriously.....?

[ShyTorque]

Shy torque, perhaps the clock is even more authentic? '4 moving planes'.

Al R, Oh yes, it's got four nice fighters going forwards then backwards, so realistic. I especially like that big four engined fighter at the back.

A real collector's item. Better rush out and order - strictly limited to only nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine of these ;)

[wg13_dummy]

Outstanding!

-The Royal Air Force- sponsored by The Jeremy Kyle show, Argos, JJB Sport and Burberry.

Christ, that stuff makes the Franklin Mint tat look like high quality, tasteful pieces of antiquity.

[knowitall]

"This is the first thing i have seen rival the "Elvis Presley Tutankhamum Dambusters Clock", which although an absolute masterpiece was 'marketted' by Viz. Seriously.....?"


My first thought was that Viz's new "Objet de tat" weren't nearly as funny as the old ones...........

i have searched for a photo of the Elvis Presley Tutenkhamen dambusters clock plate in all its glory, but to no avail

[akula]

I do hope they have a suitable delivery option. What with the new uniform dictats they could be hand delivered in No 2HD individually.


ALWAYS assume NEVER check

[TAC Queen]

Apparently the RAF is sponsoring Santa this year and he is changes some of the Reindeer names in support of the RAF Fleet. The will now be known as Vintage, Classic, U/S on Start and my personal favourite Knackered. Is it also rumoured that Santa will have to change into Blues before sliding down the chimney.
Also in a multi million pound deal Ascot ops will be designating and arranging his route for delivery and DISCOM will be arranging the types of presents. So expect bugger all down your flue sometime around July.
Happy Christmas or is that cancelled to raise morale and service identity. Apparently its someone who is very impotent’s number 1 priority.
Happy Easter to one and all and to a good night.
P.S
I know it’s supposed to be spelled that way.
I know my spelling and grammar is bad it’s because I can’t be bothered.

[luoto]

Are these spoofs.... I hope our air force does not get ideas... Finnish Air defence sauna bucket maybe?

[Pontius Navigator]

luoto, spoofs? Unfortunately not. Naff, 100%. I bet some little Chinese kid is wondering just wth he is doing painting something that he doesn't understand and getting sfa for it.

Just been to Delft where a hand painted Christmas plate costs hundreds of pounds. In Europe such a hand painted monstrositiy, if it was done and if it was priced correctly would be thousands.

The profit margin on these must be stupendous.

[Silent Witness]

Please tell me that these items are clever photoshop productions, and not real items. Please.

[The Helpful Stacker]

You can also power the Vulcan and tree lights with three ‘AA’ batteries (not included)


I reckon there is gonna be a rush on '6135-99-1956708, Battery, DofQ XX' in the near future.;)

[Wader2]

Sadly Bradford whatever sells a huge range of very cheap tat expensively. For almost £60 they sell a roller ball pen. It has a licensed artist's painting on it.

Viking direct sell similar pens for a couple of £2.

Someone is coining it in.

[Silent Witness]

I am currently hysterical with laughter, I just found the Bradford Productions Dawn Patrol Clock. They have to be having a laugh, surely?

I havent stopped laughing yet.

[DummyRun]

I can't believe it's not on aarse yet but it's only a matter of time and then gentlemen, that's it, endex, 90 years building up habits whilst the other 2 services sat and waited, knowing that give us enough rope...... and we did it!!!
There will AAC Cols at this very moment argueing over Benson, Odiham and Lyneham whilst the Snr Service are all diverting sea jets to Yeovilton and phoning Pickfords from vass. There will be RAF Sqns receiving these at Christmas from the other services and i'm sure their regimental funds will only too happy to pay.

Whoever approved this must be vv fed up with the RAF or from the Luftwaffe, RN or AAC or UNBELIEVABLY STUPID and must be outed, named, shamed and then shot and then shot again:mad:

This is without doubt the funniest thread ever on pprune.

[exscribbler]

Oh, b*gger, it only plays "Cherish"! If it played "Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow-wow" as performed by the Central Band of the RAF then I'd get one.

[Wader2]

How about a popup Torpy "I'm a Harrier pilot, ho ho ho."

Lafyar Kokov....you owe me a keyboard :p
Agreed, this has to be the funniest thread ever.

perhaps it should be entitled " tips for making a living by selling **** in a matchbox.

I was always told "you can't polish a turd"

PPrune's knowledgeable membership has taught me otherwise.

[exscribbler]

Cockey Steve: Whoever told you that was completely wrong. You can polish a turd very successfully, you might manage to change its shape, remove its odour and perhaps even persuade people to refer to it by another name.

The important thing to remember is that after all that physical effort and opinion-altering spin it is still a turd and will remain so until the end of time.

[StopStart]

I note with interest that Each illuminated Christmas tree sculpture is an exclusive edition and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. There should be no shortage of those....

I've just been looking on e-bay for an Elvis Presley Dambusters Clock plate of Tutankhamen and was suprised not to find any at all.

WG13 said - Its a pair of RAF pants (how apt) so the rear has a fully functioning flap.

Apart from the missinp apostrophe :)

I was wondering about that. Pants without a fully functioning flap to the rear would have suited those would be nav studes who failed unless they had had that oriface surgically removed.

[wg13_dummy]

And the MoD went to court to protect the roundel so it wouldn't be used for naff branding and therefore dilluting the image of the RAF. :rolleyes:

MoD v Arcadia Group. BBC 2003 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/3222616.stm)

You couldn't make it up.

[My T Hunter]

I started laughing going through this thread. Then it dawned on me that if this is what is deemed appropriate by those charged with leading the Service, then I'm not sure I want anything more to do with it.

This is fu:mad:ng embarrassing, and it's just pushed me nearer the door.

[Archimedes]

My T - I'm not sure, but there's a chance that those leading the service may be despairing as much as you are.

After the case in wg13's link, management of the RAF roundel and 'brand' were handed over by the MoD to the company which does the licensing for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and similar things.Amongst the first thing they did was to force Airfix (and similar firms) to pay for the right to put roundels on the transfers for their kits, which went down really well with modelling fans, AIUI.

It'd be interesting to know whether a 2* is approving these ideas, or whether the first anyone in the air force knows about the latest cunning marketing plan by these branding experts is when they find the latest 'You're not going to believe this....' thread on here.

Whenever glowing approval of this wheeze is required in the PR puff, it seems that some reluctant sqn ldr is wheeled out to say how wonderful the latest idea is, while those higher up the rank chain stay very, very quiet indeed.

Perhaps we need CGS to do another of his little interviews, in which, in the spirit of jointery, he makes some harsh comments about how ridiculous the RAF branding opportunities are becoming, thus frightening the Sec of State into forcing the marketing bods to calm down a bit?

[wg13_dummy]

Archi, the problem is the 'brand' is making money for the Treasury so it really doesn't matter how naff or objectionable the tat is. The way the Treasury will see it is; 'Mmm, more money to pish up the wall. So-what that a few biggles types get a bit upset. This is the 21st century and we dont :mad: care. We rebranded Neu Liabour and thats great'.

Sad but true.

[Ewan Whosearmy]

To go with SS's excellent product.

If the RAF chooses to pick-up either of these product lines, will we get commission?

Still desperately seeking an Elvis Presley Dambusters Clock Plate of Tutankhamum as the ultimate Christmas gift. Have drawn a blank on ebay and every other shopping website I can think of. Amazingly and very sadly, Amazon don't stock them either. Viz's own shopping website mentions them but doesn't have them in stock any more. What am I to do? Only a month to go till Christmas.......Can anybody help? Any alternative gift ideas?

[Duncan D'Sorderlee]

I just looked at the price of the exquisitly manufactured Christmas tree - a bargain at just under £100! ( or 4 easy installments!)

Mrs D'Sorderlee says that it is even better value than the 'call to prayer' alarm clock I got her for Christmas a few years ago!

She also informed me that the Christmas tree has more spiky bits!
