Men in Uniform

[Pontius Navigator]

Which growbag is most admired by the female sex?

The old green RAF, or the new? Or perhaps a tailored desert one?

What about the USAF or the dark green FAF?

Is the German Orange preferred to the Reds or the BBMF black?

Does the g-suit or goon suit cut it with 50 Shades of Grey and an AR 1 thrown in
?

[Rossian]

.....what did you sprinkle on your cornflakes this morning? I briefly saw in the DT this AM an article "Why women can't resist a man in uniform". Can't remember the conclusion. At our age it doesn't make a hell of a lot of difference anyway.

The Ancient Mariner

[nimbev]

The old green RAFOld Green? ... what about the Old Blue? Now they were really sexy:E

[Wander00]

O the old thin blue with the natty raincoat style belt!

Too many cosmic rays or chemtrails?

:O

[NutLoose]

Is this the tailored one?

[Pontius Navigator]

The blue ones I remember had no need for a belt and fitted like a glove, but then that was I eating Command and the 4-hour feeding cycle*




I kid thee not, pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight.

[Pontius Navigator]

Apparently researchers found wiu were not attractive

To other women maybe :)

The uniform is nice . . . but . . . .
She would have to ask nicely first. :E

1. Pedantic note: She is not a man in uniform.
2. Love this kind of thread drift. :ok:

[nimbev]

Bugis Street??

[langleybaston]

White. As in AVM climbs out of Spitfire in film B o B

........... with HER not a million miles away.

Better lie down again.

[CoffmanStarter]

Go flying in those heels ... whatever next :E

[Wander00]

No gloves either!

[Warmtoast]

Bugis Street??
Brought back memories - as here!

Maj D-y was back in the locker room with C-s, a WRAF ATCer, having just taken her up for a trip in a 228 jet; she asked what to do with the flying suit she had been loaned. Maj D-y, god bless 'im, replied "Just drop it over there; I'll sniff it later....." ;)

[AARON O'DICKYDIDO]

What about the old Zoot Suit? A fine piece of clothing if ever there was one. A similar design to the flying suit but more '50 shades'.

Aaron.

[Pontius Navigator]

Aaron, ah I forgot that, and even better with the g-tube sticking out.

[MPN11]

I knew this would end up as a faintly gay thread.

It's the aircrew version of a labourer's boiler-suit.

It has neither style, nor fit, nor general appeal.



Except when worn by women

[NutLoose]

Ermm I posted a pic of a hot chick in a spray on flying suit, if that's slightly gay I'm proud of it :p

One can only think of what you view as the alternate :p

[garyscott]

nimbev - "Bugis Street??"

:ooh: :eek: :eek: :eek: :yuk: :E

[megan]

Who knows what women like. I know what I like though.

[4mastacker]

There's a 212 page thread over on Arrse for the admirers of the females in uniform.

[Pontius Navigator]

Ah, but this is an air thread :)

Do form fitting, Superman style, slightly sweaty all white (off-white then) jockey long johns and vests cut it?

[BEagle]

The only thing that matters is that the flying suit must include the flying badge of the two-winged master race :ok: !!

For those entitled, of course.

The Chinese air force held a ceremony for the first batch of female jet fighter pilots to be equipped with new flight suits especially designed for women.

[reds & greens]

Not so sure about you aviators, but my engineering greys, oil soaked, tied at the waist with a green sweat shirt top often managed a "pleasing reaction" from the girls on both shifts....:)

Now they showed real discrimination and taste.

[NutLoose]

The N Koreans do it in full leather, however the female pilot flying kit differs somewhat. I wonder if they have to water it ;)

[Exascot]

ORAC, the girl on the right probably thinks that she is holding a female pee tube :eek:

Mainly wore No.1s just like WWII :p but I did hang up my jacket on the flight deck. Now this would have been tricky in a Spit. Your wallet could have fallen out of your pocket.

[Pontius Navigator]

ExAscot, you again remind me of style of the cold Hastings hands; No1 trousers, Marty No 2 Blue flying suit on top and set off by a number 1 jacket complete with wings, salad dressing and mega master aircrew rank badge on sleeve, jacket worn open of course.

There was only one catch as far as bird pulling.

[Stanwell]

ORAC,
Thanks particularly for your pic #2.
That'll be blown-up and posted in crew rooms by the end of the weekend.

Now chaps, any good photos of the girls marching in short skirts and high heels?

[Rosevidney1]

Having worn both blue grey and olive 'grow bags' for flying I thought they were the bees knees. When Nomex came in to use the crew room started to become er, male scented.

I've had most success with the ladies whilst out of uniform. :E

The one on the right appears to have a package...Ladyboy perhaps?

[Danny42C]

Gloves haven't done many hours, either !

D.

[ShyTorque]

Possibly as many as their owners, though! ;)

[CoffmanStarter]

Two pages and nobody has mentioned 'Leg Restraint Garter Assemblies' ... :E

[BEagle]

Which for some unknown reason were supplied to the blanket-stackers in packets of 5.... :confused:

[Lima Juliet]

Leg restraint garter assemblies? Am I about to fall into Coff's and BEag's trap?

Is that what you mean?

[CoffmanStarter]

SPLASH ! :}

[BEagle]

SPLASH ! :}

Will Sir require some Kleenex...? :ooh:

[oxenos]

"Which for some unknown reason were supplied to the blanket-stackers in packets of 5.... "

There was a reason for that.

[Pontius Navigator]

I'll bite. .

[chopper2004]

Or the Senior Service :mad::mad::E

[Dougie M]

Pusser's Twangers. Huzza!

[CoffmanStarter]

I can't believe that's a Rotary Analogue Dial Telephone on the desk :8

[Danny42C]

Sorry to get back to the Thread, (perhaps it's just as well !), but does anyone remember the blue-grey things that we said must have been designed by a woman - in that the top zip just didn't come down far enough. or the bottom zip just high enough, to be "fit for purpose" ? :uhoh:

D.

[CoffmanStarter]

Danny ...

I think you are referring to the early 'Blue' (seen here on the right) ... I believe the 'Grey' (seen on the left) superseded the 'Blue' ... but I could be wrong. No doubt one of our Suqipper members will correct me :ok:

Not a velcro strip in sight ... and you weren't properly dressed unless you wore a tie ;)

PS. That's a proper Flight Line :{

[chopper2004]

@ Nutloose and Orac

DOn't tyou both think the PLAAF leather flight jackets looks suspiciously like the ones from Aviation leathercraft offered to serving aircrew only :E or the Aviation Aircrew Jacket?

Cheers

[Pontius Navigator]

CS, no, there were 3, the light blue temperate was the Mk2, the slate grey Mk4 was winter and the cold weather one wad also slate grey.

The jacket and trousers came as a one piece but you could separate the parts

The trousers had grey braces, the top had a tail crotch strap. It was lined with a blanket type material.

Matching gloves were gauntlets much prized by MTD. They were brown leather but different shades for left and right ad they were issued as EA and different contractors!

The blue and grey were replaced by green equivalents.

[Pontius Navigator]

Chopper, the jackets are probably from China anyway.

[CoffmanStarter]

Thanks PN ... My first one was the Grey with only one perspex knee pad on the right leg with a flapped small knee pocket on the left leg (I think this was originally designed for the First Aid Kit). But velcro had just been discovered ... which was used to secure the knee pocket flap, waist tapes and epaulettes. So I guess this was a yet further Mk(5?) ... thence replaced (for me) with a 'shapeless' Green Mk11 (I think).

[sycamore]

The J-P 3 line-up is between 7/60 and 7/62 as XM456/18 crashed later during spin trials with fuel in tips...

[Danny42C]

Coffman Starter (your #52),

That's the one. (Touching picture in foreground of QFI giving his New Boys the Hard Word, and have they sand-blasted the "pan" ? - not an oil stain in sight !)

Danny.

[Wander00]

Anyone know which entry the three Cranditz studes were - I thought one was Mike D.....n and another Strawbs, but 62 is a bit early for 88 (like 18 months or so)

[Brian 48nav]

Thanks for the info' - there was I thinking the stude' on the left was my schoolmate Pete Adhemar and he was at Leeming in '66.

chopper2004 - reminds me of the old saying 'you don't get many of those for a lb (pound)'.

[oxenos]

Cranwell markings, but not Cranwell. 99% certain it is Barkston Heath, so 3 and 4 Squadrons of Flying Wing, therefore C and D Squadron cadets. Don't recognize the QFI or cadets on the pan, but I think the one in the cockpit is an 83D cadet. ? P--- C--?

[chopper2004]

Pontius,

Ah so you're implying the Aviation Leathercraft blue official MoD aircrew leather jackets may have listening devices and miniature spy cameras inserted in the buttons courtesy of the Chinese intel agencies :mad::cool: lol

Cheers

[teeteringhead]

Ah so you're implying the Aviation Leathercraft blue official MoD aircrew leather jackets may have listening devices and miniature spy cameras inserted in the buttons courtesy of the Chinese intel agencies Why bother when all yer i-Phones are bugged ...... :eek:

(tinfoil) hat, coat etc ..........:8

[Helol]

Four pages, and any female input yet?

[NutLoose]

Do you included the usual old washer women posting on here? :p

[Helol]

oi!

<---not biting. :oh:

[Pontius Navigator]

TTH, and your beer fridge, credit card and anything else made there.

[NutLoose]

Definately not a UK genuine Aviation Leathercraft jacket on those Chinese AF women pilots, a shaved collar and cuff became the norm in the UK several years back :O
