It is refreshing of the RAF saying it is a private matter.
Concur, although I am aware of quite a few stories (personally aware of at least three) that have appeared in the national press, that the RAF/MOD have just blanked...a good mate of mine (top bloke) was called in to the AOC (also top bloke) after one very well known story that hit the red tops. He was greeted with something like...

"hat on, you're bollocked", hat off, would you like a coffee old chap, ignore that newspaper ****e, it's forgotten already".

In less PC times many years ago most Runway Caravans contained a stash of literaure, normally stashed under the raised floor. Always fun trying to spot FQ issue furniture in Readers Wives although usually 'Jane- Aldershot or 'Lucy- Catterick' gave the game away.

So I was told anyway!

I recall being told about a magazine that featured a semi clad woman, her clothing was clearly marked 'SARTU' & 'RAF VALLEY'. She certainly looked more attractive than anybody else I ever saw wearing said items of flying kit.

I did happen, as you do, to stumble across a picture of a sqn ldr in Mess Undress. The bottom half was black stockings etc. It said he was in Yorkshire.

At RAF Masirah in 1971 it was the plods that ran the blue movies. One movie, to great howls, was of two matelot, clearly in Malta with one of the keen local amateur talent.

Yes P P and the lovely WRVS lady allowed the projector be used in the belief that it was used for nice films and that a collection was taken at the end.

Friend years ago used to work at a dump just outside of Bedford, every so often Boots would turn up with a truck to dump the photos that had been printed across their stores but not returned to the customers due to their sexual content, he said you would be out and all these "readers wives" photos would come blowing across the site.

I never ever worked in an RAF Met Office that did not have a porn drawer. Perhaps the Posters had two lists that had to be congruent: blokes that liked it and Offices that stocked it. JHQ Rheindahlen had the best one, partly funded from the tea swindle as I recall.

It's believed Sgt Doyle will be allowed to keep his role training the next generation of Top Gun officers as the film was made during a gap in his service.
You need a FS Regt Gunner to teach future Top Gun officers, of course. "Stick it to them, lads."

Is he still in role after this farrago?

IIRC, the stud in one blue movie in the 80s was wearing an aircrew watch......

Like I have always told the unbelievers, a big watch does NOT equal a small hows-yer-father.

It was regarded as a secondary duty on a certain Bruggen squadron, that, when on QRA and your day off, you would be directed to Roermond and to one retail outlet in particular, the large one on the right just past the station on the left, to restock the library funded by the tea swindle.....

Lyneham LSS A or B - sometime in the early/mid 70s... Didn't a patrolling Snowdrop peek into a crew room window in the course of his duties and observe the entire night shift enjoying a 16mm non-flight safety film? Conduct Prejudicial to Good Order and Service Discipline or somesuch.

About that wedding picture, according to the articles he married after his film role. Was it fair to publish her picture too?

Meanwhile, in a seedy little office off Fleet Street (I know Canary Wharf):

"Right son, your job is to browse the net and look for RAF furniture in compromising situations. And take a box of man -size with you. Look forward to relief at lunchtime. Bonus if you find an aircrew watch. "

"who reportedly met his wife Lisa when they worked on the same base after the film was shot."

She certainly knew what she was getting though...

At RAF Masirah in 1971 it was the plods that ran the blue movies.
While at Kai Tak in 68 I was invited by the station provost officer to an afternoon in some flat where a large group of civvie RHKP and RMP officers assembled to watch all the "blue movies" which had been confiscated recently. The chilled San Mig flowed freely and it soon became raucous. One remark that sticks in the mind is when a film showed a local lass "performing" with a large dog of a certain breed and one wag called out "So that's what the Boxer uprising was!"

As PPRuNe's resident medal pedant I have to object to the description of "decorated", when the chap appears to be wearing the usual selection of campaign and jubilee medals etc, but no decorations. But then it is a newspaper, what do I expect? I see The Times used the same description in its own report.

TTN reminds me. At one point we fell into bad company in Singapore - a Victor 1 tanker crew. Singapore, under Lee Kuan Yew​​​​​​, was now a clean country. Anyway the Victor captain engaged a taxi with directions to take us to a live show.

There followed a long tour around the town with frequent stops for directions. Eventually we arrived at a timber yard! It was an illicit blue movie show. As the taxi driver had not taken us to where we wanted the Victor captain refused to pay though we did give him some money.

What I remember clearly, when we went in, was the sight of our crew chiefs and the Victor chief, sitting on a log bench. Our next stop was to a brothel where we got free cold beers, made our excuses and left. In the process we collected an RAAF crew.
