Royal Air Force Careeers sponsors 'World's Strongest Man 2013'
I see that the current series of 'World's Strongest Man' on Channel 5 is 'sponsored by Royal Air Force Careers'. One of the sponsorship ads in the commercial breaks shows an RAF nurse filling a syringe, with taxiing Typhoon aircraft in the background. Hope it's not steroids.
Seriously, though, why is the recruitment organisation associating itself with an activity renowned for substance misuse?

I think that what you'll find is 'RAF Careers' sponsors a time slot, not the programme.
If they wanted they put out a programme called 'The History of the Royal Navy'... sponsored by RAF Careers (unless they tied up the contract so they couldn't do things like that, I doubt it as this is the MOB and we know their record on contracts).

Possibly because the out-sourced recruitment advertising company Reps go to the same Gym and possibly misuse the same substances - so don't see the issue you're making?
Just a rediculous theory - honest. (I should really pack up my caffiene intake)

We've looked at other examples of RAF "sponsorship" here

This is (for once) a cunning plan from within MoD.....
Think of all the money one might save on aircraft tugs if you use the first three in the contest.....
