Secret Santa
As we approach the festive season, does anyone have any good suggestions for Secret Santa goodies? I've been tasked to buy for a FJ colleague who's about to head into the airline industry, so I've come up with the relatively benign ideas like a book of crossword solutions for the longer sectors, a set of silver rank slides (or a bulk pack of Durex for the night-stops!), but I wondered if anyone had seen any better offerings?

Get him a Sqn coffee cup so he can use it as an ice breaker to bore the pants off his future airline colleagues about his fast jet career :p
How about Crew Luggage Tag Luggage tags | Luggage straps | Crew Tags - Kool Krew |
Kool Krew looks good, get him a Panam or better an Aeroflot one :)
|
What have you been smoking, Nutloose? How can riveting yarns of fast jet derring do ever be boring? What were you thinking? :eek:
As for presents, appearance is obviously everything in his new career. So how about a personal grooming kit, one of those horrible wipe on shoe shine kits or a nose and ear hair trimmer? |
He'll need a really big watch ;)
|
Alng the line of what Mach 2 said about presentation and appearance,
how about a lint remover ? I always found them useful before formal parades or Mess DIN's where any piece of lint or fluff stood out against the dark blue. |
School boy error, Airborne Artist. He's FJ aircrew - we all HAVE big watches! ;)
Like the lint remover. |
Mach 2
Re "one of those horrible wipe on shoe shine kits", surely he must know how to clean shoes well enough that all you need is a stocking to bring them back to perfection ? Or has "spit and polish" gone from the UK forces as well ? |

And how about this one for BEagle? Queen of the skies-Funny Tag - $7.56 : Kool Krew Jack PS I can't believe I actually looked ....:O |
500N,
How will wearing stockings make his shoes any better? |
Mach Two
Not sure how you guys were taught to spit polish but the way I was taught - by an Ex RSM where if you weren't up to his standard it wasn't good enough - spit polish multiple layers of polish onto the shoe until you get that lovely deep mirror finish shine. Now once you have this, if you get a LIGHT scuff on them, a piece of nylon stocking wiped or buffed over will take it back to it's former glory. I think it has to go with the fine nylon and very close weave but I can assure you it worked for me for years. I'm sure others have other ways that work but that's what I used. Hope that helps. . |

The CAA ones are utter ****e and fall to pieces over the space of 18 months. |
500N. That'll teach me to try to be a smart arse around here!!! Anyway, yep, I was taught exactly the same, except the bit about the stocking.
Pilot Shop, Pilot Supplies, Pilot Gps, Pilot Equipment, Pilot Gear - FlightStore.co.uk - I notice thay sell engine oil in bulk; I didn't realise that airline pilots have to buy their own. |
Just watch it if your buying online.
Do a search on here before you order stuff. pilotwarehouse have a shocking reputation. |
