F3 Mates Do it Style
 
Just heard today that the F3 mates out in UAE have been knicked by the local police for doing a runner with the UAE Presidents Brother's car!!! Way to go

Thats brilliant. . . . one less friendly nation in the Gulf is what we need. Maybe those F3 mates need to be based closer to the action. There's space at basrah international for them if they fancy a swop!

Tandemrotor 9th Dec 2007 23:23

Yeah, "Way to go"

Or just tossers with too much time in which to get pissed.

Pontius Navigator 10th Dec 2007 06:49

Nah, obviously either a politically inspired stunt to deflect attention else where or a military one.:}

Affirmatron 10th Dec 2007 07:43

Obviously, let's start a discussion about chopping a whole fleet because there's an unconfirmed report that something may have happened somewhere.

This is more like the Unprofessional Pratts' Rumour Network!

I heard that somebody in a Hercules might have done something wrong. Time to sell the whole truckie fleet, surely?

with the eurofighter now doing Q, what EXACTLY do they do

Doing Q as well.

I should think both the Typhoon and F3 QRA commitments as the Russian flat top comes south.

Not as 'operational' as 'being in the desert' though :ugh:

The Swinging Monkey 10th Dec 2007 09:12

Its the 'way to go' straight to the slammer!

Bloody stupid - just the kind of publicity we need right now.

Well done to the F3 boys for doing it in such (poor) style

All hail the Bahrain three....!

Navaleye 10th Dec 2007 09:20

I thought the same thing. Presumably these are ground crew. I can't believe an officer would be that dumb.

Lytham Lifeboat 10th Dec 2007 09:41

No Idea
 
Truly an apt name if ever I saw one

That's quite some bait you've cast out there navaleye !

Crikey, what a boring little bunch of people the RAF has become if you lot are anything to judge by.

I bet the men who helped form the RAF would be very proud of what has become of it, not.

And as for Officers not doing something like this??

I was under the impression that it was mainly the officers that did daft stuff like this? Or at least got away with it.

Rebuilding the CO's car in his office? Riding motorbikes through the officers mess? Mess canons? Nicking station Land Rovers? Rolling a Bristol Bulldog at no more than 5 ft for a dare, flying under low bridges....the list is never ending.

And now a rumour that 3 blokes got up to the same kind of high jinx and suddenly they are pariah's? And calls for cutting the F3 force??

Get a grip.

I caught my wife kissing a man when I got in from work.

Guess who it was?

Yeah - F3 mates.

Sack them all.

Ivan Rogov 10th Dec 2007 10:47

How right you are GPMG, it appears that Pprune is infested with the same people who phone Radio 2 to complain about everything, and then complain about the amount of complaints. :rolleyes:
It's nice to see that there is still a bit of time for fun between all the bad stuff we have to do now.
Didn't they get the detco's don't get caught brief?

Affirmatron 10th Dec 2007 11:05

I'd like to know whether this is gen or not. Has anybody seen a report/article? Maybe there's a video on Youtube.......

Well, Harrogate, she's not made of wood, is she? It would seem, sadly, that you have no wood left, perhaps?:E

Navaleye 10th Dec 2007 11:35

Oh you bitch.

Bob Viking 10th Dec 2007 11:56

Excellent!
 
Just read this and I was starting to think I was the only one who thought it was quite funny!
Obviously they're a bunch of losers for getting caught, but I hardly think we need to scrap the whole fleet on this basis!
Besides, it's the funniest thing an F3 mate's done for years! (Besides trying to claim they know how to strafe!!)

Ok I am gonna bite!

21 years ago when I joined I would have said what fun, since we almost had a seemingly endless budget/pick of hotels to stay/120,000 RAF peeps but we have changed so dramatically over the years. SH,AT guys/girls,other trades constantly on det working their socks of in dangerous places, without the help of governrment so for some FJ guys to be fooling around doesnt mean the same anymore. The Forces have changed and if you want a sobering thought maybe you should read the thread above called NO DUFF and donate!

Im going for a ly down now!
