Can I have the one on the left please. The design is better than the other one.
Sorry but didn't you mean

Although as a emergency service member I may be getting one of these gizzits I don't think I'll be bothering with mounting it with the rest. It gets a little expensive once you get a few and for once a year wear I don't think I can justify it to OC Home Front.

superb - here's another pointless medal to go along with the chocolate coin i got ten years ago. I understand the Stn Tailors' Association lobbied to get this medal introduced as they were running out of regular business due to every man and his dog wearing DPM these days.
a sufficient round of expensive No.1s and 5s mounting followed by the obligatory miniatures purchase should keep them in business for a few more years. all we need now is the queen to let charles succeed in a few years so we can have a round of sewing the King's badge onto hats/berets etc.
yet another token to remind me of my age and when the RAF looked different to what it is today.

Waaahhh is for the Army... Who aren't recruited for their looks, charm, intelligence nor good sense. If he want's to "wah" maybe he should spend his time on Arrse... Then again, he can spell so maybe he's a savant...

Wonder if those volunteering for redundancy, thus leaving the next month, will be getting one? MoD could save at least £5.47 by making up some dubious reason as to why not.
At what cost? I guess losing the CINCs from each service will fund these Silver medals?? Bet the taxpayer is chuffed. Can't say that I would stay in beyond redundancy JUST to get one if I was offered/applied for it come Sept!!!

Not at all...
Where one expects such things as a "Wah" I think it would have been stupid of me to have replied with my, equally tongue in cheek, response. But the "wah" isn't really the norm one PPRuNe so to expect one to keep raising the "Wah shield" every time we want to have fun is a little much.
Come to RockNet and try it...

I'm told the reason the Golden Jubilee Medal is slightly smaller than most other Brit gongs is because the proof drawings were the wrong size and nobody thought to query it.
Not a lot of people know that!

Don't forget to sew the ribbon on your pyjamas - standards dear boy standards

Ok, I'll bite
So that will be the F3 mate with the Gulf War 1 medal with rosette, the UNPROFOR medal for DENY FLIGHT, the NATO FRY medal for DECISIVE EDGE, the GSM with Air Ops Iraq for BOLTON, the QEII Golden Jubilee choccy gong, the Iraq Medal for TELIC and probably, if having served in the past 10 years an Afghan OSM for the posting to KAF/BSN/LKG as an ASO/DAIT/ALI post. Plus the odd QCVS, MBE or OBE.
Oh, hang on, I've just been "waaaahed",
The B Word

I say! Are we trying to beat the US and Russia in the "covering ourselves with glory" competition? A simple GSM with clasps for GW1, GW2 Afghanistan etc. would have sufficed in the days when officers were still gentlemen, airmen knew their place and flying suits could only be worn airside. I have a silver jubilee medal somewhere, but have always been too embarrased to wear it. 
Oh dear. AA has bitten after being waaahhed, even if it was so obviously a wah it was like a herd of wildebeest galloping over the hill carrying a 10ft neon sign saying "CAUTION - WAH COMING". I believe he should now be pooh-poohed as well?
