Remember the little marching soldier model - We Will Rock You?

How about a little leather jacketed CAS? Fly me to the Stars.

This is the first thing i have seen rival the "Elvis Presley Tutankhamum Dambusters Clock", which although an absolute masterpiece was 'marketted' by Viz. Seriously.....?

Shy torque, perhaps the clock is even more authentic? '4 moving planes'.
Al R, Oh yes, it's got four nice fighters going forwards then backwards, so realistic. I especially like that big four engined fighter at the back.

A real collector's item. Better rush out and order - strictly limited to only nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine of these

Outstanding!

Christ, that stuff makes the Franklin Mint tat look like high quality, tasteful pieces of antiquity.

My first thought was that Viz's new "Objet de tat" weren't nearly as funny as the old ones...........

i have searched for a photo of the Elvis Presley Tutenkhamen dambusters clock plate in all its glory, but to no avail

I do hope they have a suitable delivery option. What with the new uniform dictats they could be hand delivered in No 2HD individually.


ALWAYS assume NEVER check

Apparently the RAF is sponsoring Santa this year and he is changes some of the Reindeer names in support of the RAF Fleet. The will now be known as Vintage, Classic, U/S on Start and my personal favourite Knackered. Is it also rumoured that Santa will have to change into Blues before sliding down the chimney.
Also in a multi million pound deal Ascot ops will be designating and arranging his route for delivery and DISCOM will be arranging the types of presents. So expect bugger all down your flue sometime around July.
Happy Christmas or is that cancelled to raise morale and service identity. Apparently its someone who is very impotent’s number 1 priority.
Happy Easter to one and all and to a good night.
P.S
I know it’s supposed to be spelled that way.
I know my spelling and grammar is bad it’s because I can’t be bothered.

luoto, spoofs? Unfortunately not. Naff, 100%. I bet some little Chinese kid is wondering just wth he is doing painting something that he doesn't understand and getting sfa for it.

Just been to Delft where a hand painted Christmas plate costs hundreds of pounds. In Europe such a hand painted monstrositiy, if it was done and if it was priced correctly would be thousands.

The profit margin on these must be stupendous.

You must be joking?

Please tell me that these items are clever photoshop productions, and not real items. Please.

You can also power the Vulcan and tree lights with three ‘AA’ batteries (not included)
I reckon there is gonna be a rush on '6135-99-1956708, Battery, DofQ XX' in the near future.

Sadly Bradford whatever sells a huge range of very cheap tat expensively. For almost £60 they sell a roller ball pen. It has a licensed artist's painting on it.

Viking direct sell similar pens for a couple of £2.

Someone is coining it in.

No Way!

I am currently hysterical with laughter, I just found the Bradford Productions Dawn Patrol Clock. They have to be having a laugh, surely?

Hmmm, what a nice ring.

Say no more, just imagine waving goodbye to a loved one as your gleaming ring sparkles in the sunlight . . . . . .

The clocks must be a wind up.

Is the ring one of these sex aids instead of Viagra?

It does have "Rise above the rest" engraved on the inside

I can't believe it's not on aarse yet but it's only a matter of time and then gentlemen, that's it, endex, 90 years building up habits whilst the other 2 services sat and waited, knowing that give us enough rope...... and we did it!!!
There will AAC Cols at this very moment argueing over Benson, Odiham and Lyneham whilst the Snr Service are all diverting sea jets to Yeovilton and phoning Pickfords from vass. There will be RAF Sqns receiving these at Christmas from the other services and i'm sure their regimental funds will only too happy to pay.

Whoever approved this must be vv fed up with the RAF or from the Luftwaffe, RN or AAC or UNBELIEVABLY STUPID and must be outed, named, shamed and then shot and then shot again

DummyRun of to get a light blue beret and L/Cpl tapes.......

SHUT UP! I'm currently in negotiations with our PMC to get that EXACT clock as a prize for the Christmas Draw this year! If he reads this and you've blown it, I'll hunt you down
