The start of RAF (TM) corporate ownership?. Good to see they started with something I really need.
Mrs J R may protest at me alighting her with the roundel all bulged! Its OK because said bulge will probably disappear when I see her in the rouldel emblased thong.
Surprised an 'aim higher' is not embossed on them.

So tasteful, and look, you can get a bib with the crest of the RAF Regiment on it. How useful is that?

Many years ago the RN ships started producing knickers with ships names embroidered on the front of them (well received during a foreign port visit... I've been told)

Top favourite was of course...

AA. Am an ignorant sailor so what does the motif and squiggly blue circle inside the badge on the bib represent?

It's HQ Strike Command's badge. Keep it on the bib - I can't see why you'd want the badge of a shrinking, impotent organisation emblazoned on your underwear....

Since it says
All the of RAF badge designs sold on RAF Warehouse are unofficial and are our interpretations of the original badge art.
in the small print, I suspect this isn't under the licence, and that some legal types might be scenting a fee.

You'd hope it wasn't offical, anyway. An offical RAF thong would have shrink over the years, but without having any adverse effect on employment rates or capability delivered (although presumably,after too much shrinkage in this area, kinetic effect would be impossible )

Am I alone in noticing the similarity to the Target Dog?

Bluntend, might one query just how you stumbled across this site for somewhat deviant below-waist equipment assemblies?

Next thing they'll be flogging off knackered turning trousers (speed jeans to digi-yoof) as arseless fag pants....

Suit the puffer mate with the bib nicely, sir. Ooh...ooh!

Sounds like the silly 11 Gp badge they tried to introduce back in the 80s. Had it sewn on the arse of my flying suit so I could sit on it each time I flew.

No mention of JHC anywhere though. Just like the real world.

You'll clearly see it says RAF Underwear on the top of the page - why would that have anything at all to do with JHC - come on Colour Sergeant, pull yourself together!!!
