The RAF Rucksack!

It's out, it's official, the new RAF rucksack is available in stores NOW!!

All blue in colour, with "Royal Air Force" beautifully emroidered in gold above a gold albatross/eagle/bird thingy on the flap.

Made from the most high quality material known to the service which fits in well with my working trousers which shrink if you follow the washing instructions, and crap shoes made by some poor kid in Asia on 2p a day, all to save the service £5 a pair.

Congratulations on your promotion to the chimp which thought this one up, wherever you may be!!

Understand that there's a problem with the new DMS shoes? Believe they don't take polish. Anyone confirm?

Nose cone paint is still OK on the toe caps though.

I would happily sell my old ones to anyone who really wants a polishable pair....if I didn't use them for gardening.

New female shoes are appalling...one takes polish t'other one doesn't! They come in strange sizes as well...what happened to the good old 6L?
