Who Is Gp Capt Suave?!

This is actually on the RAF Careers Website! Who is Gp Capt Suave?!!

http://www.rafcareers.com/altitude/g...loader_raf.swf

As an aside, this was sent by a USAF colleague, who believes that we use this as some kind of aircrew selection test (although, to be fair, I think we do!!).

Looks like medical insignia on his lapels which might explain why his flying was so bad, nothing to do with my reactions on the keyboard you understand

Medical Branch...that makes sense - it would explain why he has only 2 stripes on his No1s...hasn't had time, between promotions, to get it tailored

Score 73, nearly got to the end.

Got loads of complaints over the phone about my low flying.

Yes, we have no bananas ...

Having misread the banner on the said RAF Careers website, which I initially thought read "Group Captain Suave is (rather than vs) a large monkey", my vision has now improved and I see that the "GC" seems to have undergone an incomplete transfer from the US Army Air Force (vide the lapel badges and the American style salute). Not to mention a total lack of scrambled egg on his cap and the all important brevet....

Jack

PS Or is it a naval style salute, borrowed in a laudable, but badly aimed, attempt to benefit from recent positive Senior Service publicity?

Whatever happened to Air Ace Picture Library (http://www.bookpalace.com/PicLibs/AirAce/index.htm) and 2/- Airfix kits in placky bags coupled with youngsters' imagination and the noise of low flying military jets.....?

Not too bad and a tad less chessy than the good Group Captain

Judging by some of their knuckle scraping ground crew that frequent Odious I believe they have binned recruitment for press gangs.
