You'll either be pleasantly surprised or shocked Mr Basil! The rule book says tattoos mustn't be visible when you're wearing full Number 1s, any other time is acceptable. So neck, wrists and face tend to be the only place people can't choose to have a tattoo. And yes, I've seen officers as well as NCOs in short sleeves with whole arms of tattoos (and PTIs with legs covered in them).

YT, I wasn't referring to RAF personnel so #1, #2 or #100 doesn't come into it.
If someone wishes to be inked from wrist to chest that is, of course, their personal decision; just don't expect to be accepted by everyone.

Congratulations upon your knowledge of 'the rule book'.

Inked from Dick to Head is OK then - very apt.

I have a far greater respect for (Hon) Gp Capt Vorderman than for another lady (Hon) Lt Cdr (RNR) of our aquaintance.

She opened the new International Aviation Academy in Norwich yesterday, along with Commandant Air Cadets, Air Commodore Dawn McAfferty. Her impact on the Cadets she meets should not be underestimated and on the few occasions that I met the Commandant before I left the Corps, I never ceased to be impreessed...

Reminds me of when she was on the TV program "Countdown" just after receiving the MBE recounting that her daughter said it meant "Mum´s Bum´s Enormous". With that humour she fits well in the RAF IMHO.

It would appear that the Air Cadets have finally lost patience with Carol's political rantings on social media, and all the negative press attention that brought. Although her departed was 'planned'!

Does anyone care? Why is this even news? Honestly IDNGAF about an Air Cadet cling on.

Does not surprise me as every other day or week, she rants politically ......any the above link dont work no more - but couple of times, I have walked past herself at RIAT, first time was 2018, and she looked emotionless and unhappu while walking amongst group of cadets and their band, and second time was inside ops building by the tower at riat 2019...as was attending the Aribus Bird of Prey briefing.

cheers

"Carol Vorderman MBE formally comes to the end of her 10 year commission after becoming the first female Honorary Group Captain and Ambassador for the RAF Air Cadets in its history in 2014."

I wonder who they might have in mind to replace her?
Any suggestions everyone?

I have met her and talked to her and she was a nice person with aviation and the Cadets evidently close to her heart,


That said she lacked any appreciation for the fact that wearing a military uniform inhibits what you can do politically.

She is VERY outspoken on politics and HMG policy. She is outspoken daily and her account is controlled by Momentum supporting hard Left agents.

That is not on.

"She has referred to the government as "a lying bunch of greedy, corrupt, destructive, hateful, divisive, gaslighting crooks".["

So she agrees with the vast majority of UK voters?

Your opinion, or you can support the comment?
