Can I have my jacket, wings and hat back please?
During the pre-airshow happy hour on 12 Sep 08 at the Leuchars Officers' Mess, some bright spark thought it would be a good idea to hoist my flying jacket from the gents. There are several problems with this:
1, It was my old Kiwi jacket that I got 10 years ago and cant get a replacement.
2, It has my Kiwi wings on it, which I also cannot replace.
3, it had my chip hat in the pocket, no guesses, it was a kiwi one which I cant get replaced.
4, its theft dumbass.
If anyone out there knows anything about this I'd like to hear from you. I have had those items of clothing for a decade and while they might make a cool souvenir for someone, it means a hell of a lot more to me. Its such a dumb and crap thing to do. That stuff is pretty distinctive. If the perpetrator is reading this I hope you don't think you can wear that stuff and get away with it!
For the rest of you, we can't even trust our fellow military flyers and their guests anymore. Sad but the unfortunate thruth.

Trat truly is bad news. Best of luck.
If he IS dumb enough to wear it, rest assured that it's probably in the privacy of his own home (ie. naked, in the mirror, on his bed).
I hope that helps to narrow it down.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
mofo, I know what you mean.
I had a free Kiwi chip bag too, it cost me 22p for the badge, and a US clip-on black tie. Spent one night in the BOQ at Bentwaters shared bathroom - you'll know the style.
Gone, some USless tea leaf. Fortunately the next place we visited was the RAF Club and they gave me an almost black tie. Trouble was it was a very hot summer and the tie had a motif in it so I had to keep my jacket buttoned.

While you're at it, can you arrange for the return of my hat (Gieves, y'now) souvenir'd at IntSAR 1972 
And an over coat from sponsors at cosford in 2005 - didn't swear at people then though!!!!
Jings - where do we start? I'd be grateful for the return of the following:
Flying jacket (with name badge, might I add) - Lyneham O Mess 1988
Ray Bans (Wayfarer II) Scampton 1988
Various albums - Brawdy 1991
Side hat - Coningsby 1991
Commodore 64 (I miss Harrier Attack) - Leeming 1993
Bike - Leeming 1993
Bed - 1993
Numerous packets of Marlborough Lights - ongoing
Various stashes of pornography - various ongoing (found out it was the wife who found and binned it recently)
Some dirty girls from around York and Doncaster
erm, that's it, I think. PM me if you have any of the items - especially the porn!
Thanks

Maxibon,
They want you back, they said something about a dirty RAF bloke with no jacket, hat or sunglasses. By the way, they both weigh 18 stone now. 
Where's my best SD hat? Some ungrateful oik nicked it while I was serving him Christmas dinner. Bastard. Mind you, it could have been worse - the Staish got his hat back again. It was under the Christmas tree and someone had peed in it.

Whilst we're on the subject I was wondering if anyone had seen my dignity anywhere? Last seen disappearing over the horizon at a great rate of knots many moons ago....

They must have lost some weight - the amount of chips I had ply them with round the back of Park Lane

I ebayed "New Zealand Pilots Jacket" and this came up..
Straight up........ that was the most hits I got for it.
Seriously though, I do hope someone does the right thing and returns it.

Somehow I don't think that she's from York or that $hithole of a place called Doncaster....
Hope you get your kit back, mate - thieving from your mates is a strict no-no in my book!
Mind you, I used to leave my manky old hat in various places hoping that someone might steal it, allowing me to make a valid insurance claim. But it was so awful that no-one would touch it - eventually my boss fed it to a mate's labrador, so that was that!
