More RAF Clothing....
Found this little gem when on the RAF site today:
The RAF Collection
http://www.rafcollection.com/
I was particularly glad to see that the wings that we all worked so hard for and feel proud to wear are now available to buy for anyone with unfulfilled Biggles fantasies.
On the bright side, at least I can now buy a fleece with wings so everyone'll know I'm a pilot when we do Force Development.

we have developed stylish and top quality RAF ranges to exemplify the outstanding and enduring virtues displayed by the men and women of the RAF, past, present and future. We hope you too will feel proud to wear such iconic apparel bearing the emblems which will identify you with those outstanding virtues.
Shouldn't complain though. I think they're onto a winner with this range. it'll be so popular, the Defence Budget will triple in a matter of months and we'll all get a big fat profit related bonus...
Still. At least it will give the Air Cadet instructors something to wear in the bar during camps...

JOI Ltd has an interesting company history.
Incorporated on 21/11/00 as Nevrus (867) Ltd, its name was changed to Jeffrey Ohrenstein International Ltd on 07/03/01 and became JOI Ltd on 18/01/06.
Of the 11 other Nevrus ... Ltd companies listed, only 3 are not dissolved. I do hope whoever's promotion wheeze this is has done sufficient due diligence checks and Mr Ohrenstein's company exemplies "the outstanding and enduring virtues displayed by the men and women of the RAF, past, present and future."
I fear only the Walt market will be interested at £35 for a polo shirt!

How dare you insult those holding commisions in the royal airforce. REF:
These 'air cadet instructors' hold her majesties comission, and are key public figures for the air force, by implying they are wanabes you spoil the image that helps retain the Air forces purpose - i think you owe an apology to those 'air cadet instructors' that give up alot of their time to train the youth of our future. further to that, you should realise that approx 65% of pilots in the air force are all ex air cadets and were once trained by 'Air cadet instructors'. No, im not happy, and want to see an apology

So the wearing of uniform in pubs has been outlawed, well in the Andrew anyway; but anyone wearing the Walt rig is OK. How will the great unwashed and uninformed know the difference?
The phrase "bloody outrageous" springs to mind but is, perhaps, a little dated.

I hold a commission in the Royal Air Force. I'm an ex-cadet too. And I think you'll find they hold commissions in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (Training).
So spare me the rhetoric and stop being so precious.
It's banter. Get over it.
You'll get no apology from me.

VR(T)
Has anyone noticed how, during summer camp, you can tell who lives in a mess room because the supersonic fighter pilot has "Bob" written on his door, and the air cadet VR(T) officer has "Flight Lieutenant Joseph H Bloggs BA RAFVR(T)" written on his?
Nothing to prove there then...

t I walk to work in uniform. I would have happily commuted to work in MOD in uniform. Get over your self target for who?
We have been cleared to travel in uniform for years now and if we want to remind the politicians and the public that we still exist you should be out there in uniform and proud of it. If you are that frightened then perhaps you are in the wrong job!!
Mind you it does annoy me that we are selling clothing with wings on so that any numpty can buy what it took me, and Rory, years to earn!!

Tony is now with Virgin, I understand, and Rory has a management training company or something.
On a different but mildly related note, there is soon to be a rugby testimonial match at Leicester between the actual Leicester and Bath teams that played the Pilkington Cup final of 19xx, the one which Bath won with a contraversial penalty try in the last seconds. I was at Twickers for that and what a great day it was, being a Bath supporter. Anyway, the Underwoods will be playing, along with Deano and the other amateur greats. Mind you, they ran out briefly at the Neil Back testimonial a couple of years ago and weren't too fit.
Now but back to the important business of fake RAF gear....................

Dry your eyes Princess.
You really don't do yourselves any favours, do you. I get the impression you're exactly the target audience for this range of tat.
