The RAF Regiment thread.

Why on earth was it closed? Is this not banter?

http://www.pprune.org/military-aircr...-regiment.html

I only ask because I enjoy reading minigundiplomat's missives about others being a bit.. well, you know.. thick.

(Whatever did happen to RAFET 1 AND 2 by the way?)

I enjoyed it too Al R - having been a rockape and a nav (in that order) gives one a certain perspective. I think Pop's reason for closing the thread was the dire standard of the abuse, with really tired old references to bananas, knuckles etc. Some original 21st century abuse would be a welcome change. Any offers?

Hey Chuggers, high five chum.

Tankertrash, so you became a Nav after being a Rock? I've heard about Navs getting lost and losing their way, but thats ridiculous.

Why did the Rockape look at the Orange carton for 3 hours?

Because it said Concentrate on it.


I know, pot calling kettle....you are black over.

That Short Range Desert Group gag still makes me smile. I know its not supposed to.. .

I like the 'The Navy is so far to the rear, they have to send their dhobie forward' crack too.

What do you get if you cross an RAF Air Traffic Controller with a Navigator?




















A crap talk down to the wrong airfield.

What's the difference between Navs and 1000lb bombs?






















Not all 1000lbers are retarded!

Al R - Blimey I could never answer any of those questions - I usually asked Northern Radar (or whoever)!

Wink

As I thought.. there had to be a reason why you were eased out of The Corps.

You couldn't cut the mustard.
