Love how high and mighty people can get....I myself am a realist when itcomes to human behaviour.
Heard a rumor from a senior bod that a case of RAFP personnel stealing had been covered up and only revealed when someone of integrity (RAFP) decided to put things to rights!....

Post An airfield near Lincoln

If my memory serves me correctly a few years back (5ish) there was a Land Rover that was rolled whilst conducting a ‘’security patrol‘’… of course the fact that it was on or near the runway and it happened to be covered by ice a snow has nothing to do with it. I’m obviously not suggesting that anybody would ‘’play around’’ in MT or anything. But the incident did end up with the occupants being removed from the vehicle by civilian specialists shall we say. Oh did I mention that it was RAFP…….. All information may or may not be true and may or may not be about the RAFP… is that ok Wilders85 ?!

Question What is the Collective Noun for a group of RAFP

What is the Collective Noun for a group of RAFP??

Would it be a 'Scuffer of Coppers'?, or a 'Pen of Coppers'?

Any ideas?

Isn't it a sty?

A quick visit to one of the Web's Collective Noun Sites reveals:

Drove, Herd, Sounder (Piglets), Farrow, Litter.

Presumably it's a Sounder of LAC acting cpls RAFP? You takes your choice for the rest.

The common term is usually a 'bunch of c**ts'.

Saw some ultra-professional plods today coming down the road today at Ald in the duty "wagon".
Almost laughed my nuts off when they drove by in the blue minivan with the side door open trying to look cool on the PUBLIC road that runs through camp.

Imagine........weapon cradled in the arms, 1000 yrd stare out of the door and waved straight through the gate to the armoury!!!.

Was so hot today at 22 Degrees!!???

Noshers

Oh what a great thread, anything to put the blunties in their place.

Let's face it, most RAFP couldn't pass water let alone pass an exam. The sooner this pointless bunch of losers are told to fu*k off and get jobs in
civvy street (most of you cant, hence why you are 2nd rate RAFP w@nkers) the better.

Come on, somebody please give us a reason why we need the RAFP? I would love to hear why we still have the useless f*ckers.

How did their careers office visit go?

"Are you a total c*nt"

"yes sir, can I be RAFP?"

"No, you appear to be overqualified"

Whatever happened to the 'pilots' who set fire to a pilot colleage of theirs at an OCU in the south west, after they did their porridge in civy jail?

The plods who put the evidence together extremely well, and which lead to convictions of the morons, did rather well in their careers afterwards. Had the investigation not gone so well, the moronic tw*ts might well now be pilots in the RAF, working alongside many of the pathetic w*nkers spewing out the diatribe on this thread.

Would you like some salt and vinegar with those chips stillagoodguy? See my previous point. Aircrew = essential, RAFP = expendable - see why you can't get harrier pilots sent to Colchester of doing 22 in a 20?

stillatw@t

is that the best you can do??

why don't you do us a all favour and p!ss off, we are talking about you not to you.

I know you can do so well in civvy street, that's why you can all get jobs there!!! ask most civvy coppers about RAFP or mil types and they laugh about how useless and unemployable you are

bottom line is, at least pilot's have a good job on the outside

you will always be low average, and you know it

Stillatw@tAllwaysatw@t

You are not a very good detective. It was a navigator, not a pilot that was set on fire, and they had all been doing it to each other all night. How could the plods have put their evidence together quite well? You mean they stated the bleeding obvious, for which they were rewarded with a glittering career (substansive Cpl). Its a bugger isnt it when you sit on you rocking chair and tell your grandkids 'you knooow sonnny i once did a pilot for lighting his mates flying suit! he! he! he!'. Or better for young grandkid to say 'grandpa is it true what daddy says that you were involved in fighting enemy aircraft/bombing Bagdhad/extracting special forces from hot zones/ rescuing civilians from Beruit'?

As Harry Enfield would say 'RAF policemen "know your limits"!!'

Bearing in mind the libel laws that have been pointed out, not on behalf of the accused of course but . . .

Flt Lt X was suspected of claiming quite a lot of home-to-duty but actually staying close to the base most nights.

On the night in question Master Spy shadowed Flt Lt X who, as suspected, drove straight to a caravan site, opened the door of a caravan, and went inside. The curtains were shut and Master Spy settled down for a bit of the coverts.

At end of shift Master Spy checks watch and drives home.

At the subsequent CM Master Spy relates exactly what happened until 6pm when he went home. Open and shut case?

Only witness for the defence was a vicar, chairman of the parish council at Flt Lt Xs home town. Flt Lt X was a councillor and the minutes showed that Flt Lt X was in a town council meeting that evening.

Next . . .

Oh you must try harder Dirtysanchez

Superintendant ****** ************ now serving in middle England police force says that when he walked the QRA & SSA with his dog at a RAF base in Germany during the late 70s - early 80s he and his colleages often had to put up with s**t like you spout now, but they never used to let it bother them. Your type never change your spots.

Indeed, Detective Chief Inspector **** ***** in the south west says he experienced much the same when he met morons like you during his time at the doggy school at Newton, when you lot were attending 'Man Management' courses at the school of Education...

And so did the late Superintendant ***** ********* of Leicestershire Police at a RAFPlod reunion some 18 months ago, whilst recalling his days at Laarbruch in the early 70s.

All 3 valued the ex RAFPlods joining them on the beat during their second careers. Some of those 'newcomers' are already working their way up through the ranks, a few dozen Sgts, at least 2 Inspectors, 2 Chief Inspectors and 1 'Super'. Very probably many more elsewhere in the country.

PonNav, you are being economical with the truth.

The fault lay entirely with the idiots running that case, Flt Lt ex something or other who thought he was Magrey the Froggy tec and RAF Lawyer who was not able to get a job in civy street, never was enough evidence to go to court.

But the Sqn Ldr making a couple of hundred quids worth of private phone calls from his office phone certainly got convicted. Booted out!

I will pass on their success stories to the "more than a handful" that my wife has dealt with in her job as a homelessness advice officer for the Southern Region. No ability to settle in civilian life, no understanding that once out of uniform, people just don't care what they used to be, and shouting doesn't work when you are ex-RAFP. No uniform, no barrier and no dog. But they do have a room in a hostel to call their own.

There's only one person that's coming across as a t#@t and that's you mate.

Comments like yours reminds me why I left the RAF. You carry on kidding yourself that you'll be happy as a glorified bus-driver when you leave.

I can't say I have any time for RAFP but there are better ways of getting your point across without sounding like an @rse!

Oh Dear! Friendly banter has now been overtaken by venom and hate.

I would say this thread is now well on its way to getting pulled.....

I do actually like some plods - Oh how I used to smile to myself when Cpl Chalky "W", RAFP, Newton came to a noisy halt each evening on the path outside 2 hangar, snapped to attention and saluted me through my office window before asking me how I was. Same chap charged himself for being late on duty - daft bu££er!

(I was just as daft - I sometimes used to stand up and salute him back)!

Come on chaps, cool it a little, don't get the thread pulled

Then I might get to tell the tale of how those P&SS w&nkers tried to stitch me up for a flying "crime" I didn't commit...

HEY! Now just look what I've found.......

http://www.rafpolice.co.uk/

Some dull RAF policeman has just deleted everything - shame! HEY, copper! Get the dog to run it!
