Anyone need new flying boots?

Any RAF type need new flying boots?
Please help a clothing stores employee's Xmas fund.
How do people get away with this?
I apologise if it is legit (But cannot understand how it can be)

Genuine

Why wouldn't it be genuine. You can buy those boots at any good military surplus store.

Apologies can never find time/inclination/interest to peruse military clothing stores but will definately visit them now for fear of looking like an EEEJJJITTT in public again.

Anyone fancy some Tornado spares look in same Ebay category/area.

And is it coincidence that the seller who seems to have cornered the market in "CAPE LEATHER FLYING GLOVES SIZE 8½" goes by the name of 'winch-op'?

Sorry guys but it's got to be someone from coningsby, cottesmore etc.

And we take a pretty dim view of selling issue kit. Any grassers out there?

A pair of flying boots is peanuts - well, not actually peanuts but you know what I mean!!

The MoD sold 7 Nimrod MR2s to BWoS for 1p each!!! Would have done much better on e-bay!!

Thanks fellas.

Thanks for your input in this. I know it is probably a small point in the big scheme of things but these people who seem to get away with murder on Ebay get to me. It seems ludicrous to me that kit is unavailable at stores yet you can buy the same from suspicious sources very close to major units.

Gripe over.

I look forward to the new 'E Branch' of the RAF Police forming soon.

B fat B bald B happy

...If Airdog Fido doesn't like the sound of it's own growl, it could always use the 'Alt Gr' key..

True exchange in Waddington NAAFI when RAFP Acting Corporal, unpaid, unloved, unwashed and unwanted enters NAAFI with a dog on a rope.
