RAF Regiment Special Forces Medal
 

I've never come across this medal before and am a bit suspicious

Looks like a DIY job, stand by for November 11th. see how many are 'on parade'.

I would like one, but I'm afraid I can't give you any information, 'cos it's Secret, innit!

Oh, how sad :(

All very considerate of them, that's exactly how classified information works - if you're not sure, leave it blank.

Bear Grylls gets a special mention in the write up, so it must require staying in five star hotels for a week.

You're only a bit suspicious?

Don't tell Baron Castleshortt!!

>Don't tell Baron Castleshortt!!<

Or Wesley Tierney :ugh:

Must get one for my son in law, he did a tour near a park in London, not Green Park.

I love the clasps. Can they give you blank ones all the places you can't mention?

What about the V-Force and SAC? We were special, elite and sworn to secrecy too? Or 51, a number to conjure with? Or the Silent Service?

That moustache device pin is upside down!

No it's not. It is for female operatives

I'm an ex-Rock and would love one of these to go with my solitary GSM, but I'm a bit skint at the moment. I'm thinking of doing a bit of crowd funding on here to pay for one - anyone want to chip in? ;)

These vanity things seem to be getting dearer, £30 - £35 used to be the usual price. Maybe the price of cupro-nickel has gone up!

GSM? I haven't even got one of them, or a Jubilee or anything else. Then again, only thing I ever had fired at me was a mess bazooka - so I'm not complaining.

It was almost unusual to see anyone except the Regiment and SH force walking around in RAF blue and wearing medals in the 1980s, I would imagine the opposite is now true.

I think the Walter Mitty team might ask a few embarrassing questions if that "commemorative" gong were to get mixed up with real medals round Nov 11th.

If a person is able to suspend the obvious knowledge that he or she is simply not entitled to it, then I feel for them. It's sad. I'm a proud Welsh rugby fan, but I cannot bring myself to wear a 'Welsh rugby shirt' for matches. (Im now picturing me in a red shirt with SF medal on it. Sweet!)

Come on, CG... you were always "a bit special"..... :E
:p

Ah, you must be the one with the daffodil "halo" round your face.

Sprung!

Face usually like this :-( these days too!

You promised that would just be between us!:ok:

I'm sure the fine folk over on ARRSE won't have anything to say about this at all...
