"Name on a plane" - commercial sponsorship soon to be appearing on RAFAT airframes?
£25k seems dirt cheap. I guess it had to happen. What next?

Awful demeaning idea...:mad:
What's next - "For only £10000 you can get your name on a bomb to be dropped on daesh?" |
A1 R,
Suggest the title of your post is a tad misleading. Isn't this about raising funds for the RAF Museum at Cosford, not RAFAT sponsorship? |
Fair point. To the casual and untrained eye though, there's fag paper thinness about the difference. Does it matter where the money's going to, however noble the cause?
1.1 - Thread title changed from: <<"Name on a plane" - ideas for unsuitable RAFAT sponsors?>> to <<"Name on a plane" - commercial sponsorship soon to be appearing on RAFAT airframes?>> 1.2 - It doesn't seem to have changed. |
I wonder whether Cdr N D MacCartan-Ward DSC AFC will be signing up for the basic package, or one of the more expensive ones?

The Bin Laden family were not averse to a bit of sponsoring...

Is, "BAROOM", Arabic for "BOOM!"?

Not sure what the objection to this would be - seems like a pretty good way to raise some cash for a good cause done in a reasonable fashion.

A good way to raise money and can be done in a way where unless you are up really close you can't tell.
Bloodhound SSC has done it ... Composite Club | BLOODHOUND SSC and I seem to remember one of the F1 teams did it as a one off - you paid £'x' and got your name (in small letters on the rear wing (I think)). |
I paid 20 or so quid to get my lads name on the Bloodhound.
They'll never see them but it serves to give them a point of interest. |
Well if Durex sponsor it I hope it doesn't blow a tyre!

£25k seems dirt cheap. For as little as £30 - or as much as £25,000 - you can pay to have a name on the undercarriage.. |
" # Fly Navy "

It may prove cheaper to change your name by deed-pole to "Ejection Seat" which will get your name on lots of aircraft!!

I expect that Commander Nigel Ward DSC AFC will be popping his cheque in the post. ;)

If only the Red Arrows were as popular as NASCAR then the money could be rolling in to buy a few V-22s !
Primary sponsor: $5M > $30M (per car) Secondary sponsors: $250K > $2M (per car) Explaining the difference in sponsors |
Wensleydale I was reading about a chap n the states who had a really awkward name so changed it to null as he liked the sound of it, he then found that he was getting stuff for free as hotels etc when punching the name into the computers were reading it as name not known so we're not billing him lol.
