View Full Version : The RAF Regiment thread.
Why on earth was it closed? Is this not banter?

I only ask because I enjoy reading minigundiplomat's missives about others being a bit.. well, you know.. thick.
(Whatever did happen to RAFET 1 AND 2 by the way?)

I enjoyed it too Al R - having been a rockape and a nav (in that order) gives one a certain perspective. I think Pop's reason for closing the thread was the dire standard of the abuse, with really tired old references to bananas, knuckles etc. Some original 21st century abuse would be a welcome change. Any offers?

Well....not quite so well, you know...thick, eh Al? Seems there is a current RAF Regiment thread and it's here. So quiet please and...play!
Hey Chuggers, high five chum. :ok:
Tankertrash, so you became a Nav after being a Rock? I've heard about Navs getting lost and losing their way, but thats ridiculous.
Why did the Rockape look at the Orange carton for 3 hours?
Because it said Concentrate on it.
I know, pot calling kettle....you are black over.
That Short Range Desert Group gag still makes me smile. I know its not supposed to.. :{ .
I like the 'The Navy is so far to the rear, they have to send their dhobie forward' crack too.

Not lost Al, merely temporarily unsure of my position ;)

What do you get if you cross an RAF Air Traffic Controller with a Navigator?
A crap talk down to the wrong airfield.

What's the difference between Navs and 1000lb bombs?
Not all 1000lbers are retarded!:E
:ok:
Tanker,
This springs to mind (>> to 2'10")?

Al R - Blimey I could never answer any of those questions - I usually asked Northern Radar (or whoever)! :confused:
As I thought.. there had to be a reason why you were eased out of The Corps.
You couldn't cut the mustard. :cool:
