TOP Guns in the RAF’s oldest squadron have named six of their jets after gorgeous Sun Page 3 girls.

Crews of No 1 (Fighter) Squadron are flying sorties over Afghanistan in Harriers with the girls’ names emblazoned proudly on the nose cones.

Good On Ya!

Particularly after the RN banned Page 3 from messdecks.

Hmmm, wonder what the atmosphere in Main Building is like today?

So they have names painted on them, it's not like they are flying around with a huge pair of t!ts emblazoned over the nose?

(And yes, I do realise that I have set someone up for the return line!)

Well done lads!

Well in the interests of PCness I think some aircraft should have male names such as "Brad" or "Jude".

I'd love to see their faces having to take "Brad" for a poke about in.

It is traditional to name vessels and aircraft after women - and long may that stand.

After all the trouble the scum reporters have caused the RAF over the last few months, i'm surprised the guys had the time of day for them.

I suppose the RN pilots who are part of the Joint Force Harrier on 1 Sqdn are not allowed to fly these marked Harriers

I hear 28 Sqn are already painting 'Boy of the Week's' names on the side of their kites!

And until the age of steel battleships (about the time Beagle joined the RFC) there were some very fine and buxom bowsprits!

And why not? There are too many people taking life too seriously in our higher ranks. They need to learn that no-one is being sexist, they are just having a laugh. Leave them to it and they will remember their time in the RAF as the best time of their lives. Hassle them and morale plummets and people leave - Its just a bit of fun. Senior bods, some advice if you are reading, let this one drift away with the next repaint.

I still don't understand how something that drops bombs can be nice and pink and fluffy, maybe some tesco carrier bags around the bombs next so they don't look offensive to Jo Public?
