You know it's horsecrock you're shovelling when you need to explain it

[Tankertrashnav]

I suppose you are right but if being an honorary colonel of the Micks trumps being a serving officer in the RAF, then protocol is a load of horsecrock too!

[clunckdriver]

Bollocks?

It seems that the idiots who have totally trashed the threads are now destroying all the whole web site! Bollocks indeed!

Personally I agree TTN-He should have been married in the uniform of the service he was serving in-but tradition/protocol whatever deemed it so. I have to admit there was a degree of surprise that HRH was wearing Red not Blue on the big day, given his role. In fact if he was going to wear an army uniform, one might have expected that it would be that of his parent regiment as at least he had some time in there (it seems not).

Including my time in the ATC, Full Time, and Reserves, I have been in RAF uniform for very nearly 50 of the 100 yrs; still managed not to qualify for the LSGCM though. I have seen many bad calls in my time, from , however this takes some beating. Even the millennial grand snowflakes recognise our true roundel, and are dumbfounded by this.

Not only is this an embarrassment, but when I am involved with making hard cost cutting decisions impacting front line capability, how much cash was wasted on this vanity project?

Did PPRuNe get the same people who designed the 100 year RAF Logo to design this new website?

I think so, although bad as the RAF 100 "branding" is, the new PPRune site is even worse.

The colour scheme is very “Monarch” ... oops!!

Belgian F-16 display aircraft is way better than a poxy sticker on the tail, and they arent even celebrating a birthday !! As for the other sticker - Bollocks

[50+Ray]

Agree with most of the above. What a waste of tax payers money! Expensively produced Bollocks.

Political entrance exam for air commodes?? (note the non use of capitals - as in the explanation blurb)

What in the name of all that's good and holy are "flexible future-focused visuals" ? This is a "flexible future-focused fcuk-up"

"I Don't Believe it", says Danny Meldrew - that I should live so long and see this stuck on the Service I love and in which I served the best years of my life !

I do hope someone senior is reading this thread and getting the "message", but somehow I doubt it

Sadly the days of Lord Tim G are long past

Nice to see that somebody can do a decent Typhoon display scheme for this year.

I beleive the protocol is that he wears the uniform of the most senior rank he holds. Which in this case was Col in Chief. He at least wore his RAF wings on his Garter ribbon

I think the Irish offered this to him just before the wedding was about to take place as well?

With all the hype about the RAF 100, the Dams raid 75th seems to have been overlooked. Seen a comment on another forum, that the Lanc is flying the Derwent on the 17th May around mid-day. Let's hope that doesn't go all corporate.

[Herod]

Ref the Dam Busters, there is a newly remastered copy of the film being screened at the Royal Albert Hall on 17th May, including comments etc from various personalities. It's being streamed live to many cinemas. I've booked a seat at my local Odeon
