Well the recent thread drawing RAFP attention to Ebay seems to have borne fruit.

I wonder if the snowdrops will be putting down their doughnuts to start an "investigation"/witch-hunt for the perpetrator of this "crime"

Doubt it, they will be far too busy clamping shopping trolleys outside the NAAFI

Once a bunch of us cruel Line Servicing techies were having a go at a dog handler. He responded with "I'm not thick! I could have been a fireman!" Touche

With ref to Dirty Sanchez "I personally wouldnt trust one with anything more complicated than a barrier................."

I sat in my car at a gate in RAFG and saw Plod not looking at the previous car driving off too slowley.... The aerial made an expensive looking scratch in a tax free motor.

Do'nt trust em full stop.

Talking

Three coppers standing at the Pearly Gates checking in with St. Pete.
St P to first chap: "What did you do on earth?"
"I was a DI at Scotland Yard"
"Oh great! We've been having terrible trouble with organised crime up here in Heaven - you're just the man we need, in you go!"
Next chap in the queue, "What did you do on earth?"
"I was in the RUC"
"Marvellous, we're having terrible trouble with the Catholics and Protestants up here, perhaps you can help us sort it out - in you go!"
He then turns to the last chap in the queue: "What did you do on earth?"
"I was in the RAF Police"
"Oh brilliant, you couldn't watch the gate for us could you? I'm busting for a p*ss"


....old i know...

Just remember this the next time your between a Rock(and I do mean the Regt) and a hard place(His fist).
Remember without us you would be up the proverbial creek without the paddles.
We look after your kites when you finish at 1600hrs (QPD), we investigate when you lose your stuff to little joe lightfinger (Special Investigations), We check your computers when the start to break under all the porn on them (Counter Intelligence), and we place ourselves between you and the other **** thats trying to rip your head off when you try to screw his bird, we make sure you get home alright after you've passed out at the side of the road, and if you need to go to the Med Cen we get you there and take you back.
We also make sure that when on Det in the hotter climes you are all safe tucked up in your bed when we're still hard at it making sure that timmy terrorist aint coming to cut your very valuable head off(TPW). We check that no one is going to blow up the plane your on and make sure your gear and mail arrives safely(ATSy).

To say that you wouldnt trust us is an insult, a lot of us have been in places you'll never read about. So before you go shouting your mouth off about how thick and stupid we are try knowing what you are talking about. I wouldn't dream of telling you how to fix or fly a plane.
If you think we are so far beneath you fight your own battles in the future and leave us to eat all the doughnuts in peace.

No, one detects the best trained military investigation, detection and protection team in Europe biting back because you lot are too gormless to look beyond the stereotypes.....and they call us chinless wonders!

MiB, who was and is a brown job and wishes the Adjutant Generals Corps (RMP) were half as far up the food chain as the RAFP.

Sorry about all the banter old chap, I had completely forgotten how important you plod types are, thank you for re-enlightening me. Its good to see that we are in such safe hands.

DS

PS they are called aircraft not kites, and that is why we have an RAF..................remember that bit?

Blacksheep, when you and your buddies were talking to the dog handler, which end of the lead were they talking to just out of interest!
