RAF CLUB
Ye Gods! presumably these easily shocked ladies go around London with a bag over their heads?
It is Friday, after all!

Membership is already open to allied air forces (which I think is widely interpreted these days) Member Services | RAF Club, London

Mrs LM uses the club more than I do (all on the one membership fee) for most of the reasons you mention and really likes the place even though she has no services connections at all.

Sign them up...
There's plenty of us more than happy with the place as it is today, it's a shame that people who had a bad experience 30+ years ago keep harbouring a grudge...move on, mate...

Stayed there last night following the first annual F3 reunion (a 11hr drinkathon!). Nice room with a bathroom for £68.50. Wore chinos and polo shirt throughout - no problems. Nice staff and overall a good experience (again!).

The comments by trolls are good reason why we should not discuss this matter in public.
Some comment also suggests that we should be very careful to whom we extend the privilege of membership of an outstanding and exclusive club.

May I add as an ex ranker that I see no reason why commisioned ranks shouldn't have their own exclusive club. It's one building among thousands to stay at in London.
Although it's a long time since I left the services and now count ex members of all ranks (including the very highest) as my flying companions; I still think that there has to be some differentiation between serving members. It's how the system works most efficiently.
Or maybe I'm just an old guy now.

You may now officially revoke this privilege in the unlikely event one ever was entitled to it
thing,
Thank you. Back in the day, we went partying with our NCO aircrew and, in another appointment with airmen and NCOs in ATC but I guess that will come as a shock to some of the trolls on here.
p.s. One of my local friends is ex RAF NCO aircrew - and also an ex BA captain, successful businessman and one of the most highly motivated and hardworking people I know.

Hitler was a corporal and went into officers' messes but still did not qualify as a member of the Royal Air Force Club.
*1.20€ at the family bakery next to my office - I can smell it baking.
Is that enough of thread drifts
What has this got to do with the price of a loaf of bread?
p.s. What's that in Drachma?
p.p.s. Getting close to Godwin's law there
HH, did he ever apply?

The Adolph I regret missing in the RAFC was Adolph Galland when he visited.
Regrettably, also missed a dinner speech by a much reviled 1960s politician whose name I won't mention for fear of degenerating this thread. Hmm, perhaps I'll go and stir elsewhere.
No, much as I've put it off, that seized caliper on the 16yo E320 calls
