Officers one?
Stick it on your Unit Intranet website.
Advertise it on the RAF wide Sales and wants site.
If it's a lower ranks uniform, get it handed in to Supply, that's where it belongs. Do not dare sell it.

Trap 1, Maple, my apologies. That of course should have read "Other Ranks".
Although to be honest they both sound faintly derogatory to me. It's almost as if you have "Officers" ranks as the important ones, then "Other ranks" as, well, others.
Which are you guys happier with? Surely "Airmen" is as bad, failing to encompass women and SNCOs as it does?

I think 'Other Ranks' is acceptable. Is on most war memorials anyway. Mind you, my grandfathers commission reads something about obeying his superior officers and carrying out his duties over inferior officers!!!

History doesn't record! Perhaps a stiff drink and a service revolver? Think that those commissions prompted a re-write, though as you said, the term suits one or two. Or twenty.

ISTR that my oath of allegiance was to "obey legal orders of the Generals and officers set over me".
Hence no distinction from Lance Corporal all the way to (and including) Brigadier. I am happy with that idea. I assume the RN & RAF ones are equivalent, substituting "Admiral and Air Marshal" appropriately. What does the RM one say? Generals or Admirals?

There used to be another site at http://www.kit2x.co.uk but that seems to have gone, unfortunately.
