Coded speak for a single, Rafale equipped RN carrier.

Operated by the RAF Marine Branch, as the RN will have been disbanded.

The Trident boats will go to the Royal Artillery.

Just one service!
 

Why have as many as two services? If we converted the Royals into an organisation with the power, capabilty and reach of the USMC we could manage with just one and we'd have some great bands to boot. So everyone would feel part of one happy family we could make the standard uniform that new "duck hunter" style camouflage!:ok:

wozthathen??

This possibly:

BBC News - British Army to get new uniform camouflage design

Albeit it the title doesn't say the RAF will get it!

New camouflage
 

Glad Rag

It's actually called Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) and will start being issued (hopefully) later this year. It is apparently based on a commercial design by US company Crye Precision and is said by some to be similar to that worn by many US duck hunters. As it's new I thought it would be ideal to help everyone bond together into the one service as I proposed (tongue in cheek) on my last post.:ok:

Are we increasing the size of our submarine fleet? ;)

Don't US duck hunters get shot by other hunters? When the French go hunting they wear Dayglo jackets - and the rest of the population stay indoors!

And it is on its way from China to us......:ugh:

Multicam is actually very good. Have a flick through these.

Sounds like Crye have given up the battle to stop the chinks ripping it off then :hmm:

Lots of shooters in the orchards round here, most of them lurk in hides. I wear a bright orange ski hat when walking the dog and was asked to remove it as I was scaring the pigeons!

Must have been a different bit of France, then..

That new cam looks bloody terrible:yuk: it looks like something from the former soviet bloc inventory that has been passed too many times between forces from Bongo Bongo land, mind you that is proabably what Brown wants, a force that resembles a good socialist one. :(

Doors Off

Not very P.C:=

I'm not quite sure that you understand the concept or requirement of camouflage.

This is bad camouflage

Different I suppose....mind you if I was offered the keys for 6 months I wouldn't be rushing to knock it back either:)..

Good grief, you ARE having a laugh, the new pattern was designed/picked by those who will have to actually wear it when fighting for their Queen in Afghanistan, what better endorsement do you need?
