WAAFs
Any medics in here? Especially any with experience of handling WAAFs.
Why? Well, the Baroness has to write a risk assessment and method statement for the movement of said items by forklift using the proper tongs/grabs or whatever.
Could anyone give her a start?

WAAFs shall not be subject to manual handling except by invitation and then ONLY following the correct procedures.
Fork Lifts may be used in exceptional circumstances but only after the forks have been heated to body temperature and treated with Kilo Yankee.

Modern Elmo,
You are a little out of date, if you put your cursor over the photos, you will see that it is 2005/6. For more up to date representatives, you may wish to look at this years competitors for the Miss Red Star (the newspaper of the Russian Armed Forces) as seen here:

^^ Are you sure? I'd say she had plenty of close runners for the title of ugliest servicewoman ever in that collection. 
One or two pretty ones in there though. Of course we're all barrel chested, flinty eyed Adonis lookalikes aren't we?

I can only think that you must have been very unlucky with the RAF ladies with whom you have served......
As for the Russian ladies:
You'd get nothing but name, rank, number, unit, aircraft, weapon and target from me, Юлця!
When Gorbachev and 4 x Il-62s came to Brize in the mid-'80s, some of us were tasked to look after their admin needs. Mine was the KGB jet; they were all whisked off to the Gateway for lunch and we went on board. To be met by a Rosa Klebb lookalike. "You vant coffee?", she asked. "Yes, thank you very much, that'd be most kind of you!", we replied. Whereupon she instantly changed into everyone's favourite prep school matron (grammar school oiks will have to use their imagination) and disappeared into the back of the jet. A minute or so later a number of absolutely stunning stewardesses came out and served coffee plus Russian chocolate which must have been about 150% cocoa butter. A fun day - and the Russians were very easy to work with. There was a bit of a worry (on both sides) when only 39 out of 40 KGB mates came back from the Gateway until one pi$$ed off looking chap in his KGB raincoat turned up somewhat out of breath. "I in lavatory, they take bus, I bloody walk!" was all he said.

And some of us were tasked with guarding the aircraft on the apron!
I know, I should have done better at school.

Having seen those Russkie ladies, I now know it WAS true. The Berlin wall WAS built to keep us out. 
All those years, wasted.
