What are they thinking of - an RAF Bikini!

Anyone planning to buy one for themselves or a loved one?!
Shouldn't we be having money spent on more useful things - diamante CS95 maybe?!

Hmm - £15 for size 18 knickers? What an horrendous thought!
Perhaps the fact that the bra and knickers are sold separately speaks volumes about the target market?
What utter ar$e dreamed up this latest way of letting the other services take the total pi$$ out of the RAF?

Group Captain Andy Turner, communications director of the RAF, said the merchandising campaign helps promote understanding and awareness.
He said previously: "By associating our brand marks, including the RAF logo, on bikinis for over-weight slappers, we build up our image in Ibiza and Aya Napa and, just as importantly, bring us to the attention of young people who are the next generation of RAF personnel."
A complete non-story. the RAF Collection has been around for some time (and the previous bikini was even worse!) - completely self funding IIRC and therefore no money from the Defence Budget. End of.

Maybe the collection is self-funding, although I doubt it. Can't imagine a company putting up the initial costs, bet that came from service sources. And Gp Capt Andy Turner is funded from the public purse so there is definitely some wasted money somewhere.
God - get over it. Its just a part of the gp capts job - not that he personally runs it! All to do with trying to raise awareness of the RAF with the general public. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
And you want to see some of the Army Regimental stuff ....

There actually used to be a roaring trade in HMS knickers. The best ones were HMS Invincible, HMS Beaver, HMS Battleaxe.........Great gift! yeah yeah I know, I'm such a charmer!!

Is this "initiative" from the same people that brought you the RAF "Spirit of Adventure"?

If it was up to me, they would be sporting two bloody great roundels on the top 
instead of that tacky diamante design. You know what they say - aim high...!

Morf,
Yes, we've had the RAF Speedos conversation in the office this afternoon
Quite frankly I find the whole thing incredibly sexist: if the girls can look ridiculous in the RAF bikini, then the lads can look ridiculous in the matching Speedos.
Get a grip, RAF, let's have a bit of style here!!
