Not-so-woke Reds
What with all the posts about Wigston's wokery, the pause in recruiting white guys and the farce of the Red Arrows I'm amazed no one's joined the dots and made the connection. Just as the BBC pointed out about the Lionesses, the Reds really should be called the Whites - distinct lack of diversity! No women, no people of colour, no LGBTQ+, no one with special needs - c'mon RAFAT you can, should and must do better.

Try looking at the back seaters and there are 3 young ladies, they have had female pilots in the past who left, also all of the blue team are not all white, you have to remember people volunteer to join them, it's not simply a selection from the RAF, cannot understand another thread on the subject either.

NutLoose, I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that perhaps humour isn't your strong suit?

Judging by my cap comp efforts, I tend to agree. :O

The last time the RAF had a pilot with no legs on active duty was 1946, pretty disgraceful when you think about it.

Some of the funniest posts come from Nutty the Nutty.

Regardless, can one be certain about the absence of the GBT persuasions?
Asking for a friend. |

Is your friend a dinosaur? Asking on behalf of a friend who’s been in the military for over 35 years when that used to matter, but no longer does.

No blind or visually impaired either - if you want representative diversity, surely they have to be given consideration too?

Perhaps a Black Labrador Guide Dog could be recruited, with an RAF-wide contest to choose its name? |
