What is Prince Charles up to?
 
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...1184260877.jpg
Extract from the 'Sun' 9 July
PRINCE Charles today handed over service medals to soldiers who fought in Afghanistan, telling the troops how proud he was of their work.
Forty-four members of 9 Regiment, Army Air Corps, met the heir to the throne at a special reception in the gardens of Clarence House.
Charles, the Army Air Corps' Colonel in Chief, inspected the 43 men and one woman as they lined up in two rows in their smart uniforms and pale blue berets.

The chap on the right is thinking

"If they were my hands.........................."

This should be in Caption Competition.

"They keep the wings up sir" OR
"I'm due in the "Dunker" straight after parade" OR
"Of course you may sir, after all, they've been signed over to your mum"

I like a Girl with a sense of humour .... :p

Do you think he has eye contact ..... :)

hedgester 14th Jul 2007 12:33

On pain of sounding sexist!;) I think he has eye contact........ but not with her eyes! :O

I think he's asking if her droop stops are due for their daily inspection.

Just because I am Honorary Air Commodore doesn't mean I don't get like to get the hands on experience.

Cracking picture!

Nice rack as well.....:}

Did he just pin that medal on her? Is that why she's smiling? Has Camilla seen the picture?

MadsDad 14th Jul 2007 14:44

Just one question. Why is the bloke at the left-hand end of the line (far right of the picture) sound asleep?

Did he think he had enough time for a kip before the Prince got to him?

Sorry mate, never got that far in looking at the pic. I too was mesmerised at the wings and smile.

Most outstanding pilot on parade!!

Blakey875 15th Jul 2007 14:58

Camilla would never wear the uniform for me!

diginagain 15th Jul 2007 15:41

Whatever it is he's up to, I'm sure the rest of the lads would like a crack....

dagowly 15th Jul 2007 16:14

Tappers Dad 15th Jul 2007 22:05

They just remind me of a brace of grouse in a sack

Trick Cyclists would say that his brain is telling him to do EXACTLY what his hands are demonstrating ie I really want to grap those puppies.

I'll bet she's got a big arrsee to counterbalance those luvies mind.

Chaps,

I don't want to be a party pooper but it is not particularly fair on a serving officer to be so publicly humiliated in this forum.

I know for a fact that the personnel on parade tried to keep the paparazzi from publishing their photographs, in accordance with current training from St Mawgan/Gosport, but to no avail. I know I would not be too chuffed at having a photo of me in my uniform displayed on the internet.

I know that it is good sport to have at laugh at each other's expense, now and again, but when sexist, degrading and - frankly - out of order comments such as those above appear, I can't sit by and watch a brother/sister in arms get such a raw deal.

Chaps - Grow up.

Mods - please consider removing the photo for the very real security concerns which I have mentioned above.

Thanks,

AHV
