Fantastic! Recruiting? Thought we were trying to get rid of 11,000 personnel?

Darn, beat me to it. Just spotted it on Ceefax!
Very un-pc, I know, but with it being a gay pride march will they re-instate PRU Pink colour schemes for the obligatory plastic Jaguar or Harrier?

Westie, I'm not sure what you're on about? Nor the reference to the European Court of Human Rights........
Personally what homosexuals apparently do with each other I consider totally unnatural and utterly repellent.
But I suppose it's marginally less so than active persecution?
No doubt you've had more experience of such people over there on the coast not far from San Fagcisco?

I don't care about sexuality, homo or otherwise, one's private life is exactly that. However:
1. I thought QRs were explicit about when uniform could and could not be worn.
2. Likewise, I thought QRs explicitly prohibited personnel taking an active part in political events, particularly in uniform!
3. Are the personnel taking part "volunteers?" Can one now be tasked with appearing in such marches, whether sexually orientated or otherwise? Waht next - the Labour Party conference?
I think I'll dust off my No 1s for the next Countryside Alliance or Stop the War Coalition march!

Like Beagle, I assume, I can't accept the supposed 'normality' of alleged homosexual sexual activity (pity the word gay was hijacked). However I'm quite able to shove this aside and enjoy otherwise normal relationships with 'gay' people. But why their need to assert their abnormality in public and use their profession as a platform for airing their sexuality? If these officers are to wear anything resembling the RAF uniform, then I strongly object to their exploitation of what is a symbol of National pride, and adorning themselves with what is ordinarily worn for greater purpose.
I'm 'straight': I don't feel the need to tell everybody. As the nice RAF PR lady says - " individuals sexual orientation is none of the RAF's business". So let's all get on with it, in private, please.

I think your No1 uniform worn over a white T shirt atop black leather slave pants and the compulsory Bare arse will look quite good. Only bettered if you can pull the sides of the SD cap down in finest Gestapho fashion. Gestapho> Boots.... mmm it just gets better all the time. Hope beer bellies are not volunteering
31 squadron or some Jaguar outfit, probably......
Aircrew leather jacket, plus old 70's-style internal anti-g suit worn as ar$eless fagpants plus flying boots. And a Village People style SD hat (the Gestapo were the leather trenchcoat and trilby lot - like Herr Flick. You're thinking of the SS).

The big downward slide.
Isn't it about time we started advising our future potential RAF aviators that it is not now an organisation they should aspire to join.
It's been bad enough to see members of an Oz state's police force march in uniform in a Gay Mardi Graz.
So pleased they can't breed.

Heard on the local radio that there's a flypast too - can't see anything on the NOTAMs - any ideas which aircraft/ units and time?
I see homophobia is alive and well in Aunty Betty's flying club, BEagle in particular, you really are an old dinosaur!
Far too much self repression here methinks, you guys really should seek help to come out you know.

The term 'homophobia' is a misnomer. 'phobia' would imply that we are scared of uphill gardeners, I for one am not scared by it, I'm far too broad-minded.
I just don't see why they have to shove all this PC rubbish down peoples throats (ooh er).
If you're a botter, fine. Get on with it behind closed doors. But why feel the need to cavort around Manchester saying how proud you are?
