Captains Ring

'and are uniquely personalised with your licence number.'

............and to the of the complaints about id cards.

Stolen from a thread in the mil forum.

First we had the epaulette war, silver/gold plated 1-5 bars.

Then we had the flightsuit hangbags at dawn, green/blue or pink.

Now we have the ultimate for ripping the piss item for all pilots.

The captains ring

If anyone know's anyone who own's one please out them.

Come on now - I think you're just trying to judge opinion before you splash out, Jock.

[flybymike]

Well I think it's really lovely. It'll go nicely with my twinset and pearls...

[mad_jock]

Now Will you know I prefer the hydraulic handle for educating FO's no need for Gorillas knuckle duster idea.

Anyway I have managed to remember to wear my epaulettes for 5 weeks in a row now and haven't lost them once. Mind you with the state of my jumper I could probably send it into work and stay in bed.

[TheGorrilla]

Good idea Jock! Stay in bed with your captains ring.

[Billredshoes]

Dam only 4 rings will not match my 5 gold Bars I wonder if
They will do me a special ???

[jxk]

I would like to purchase a ring as described. But, I have a difficulty in knowing when I would become entitled to wear one! In other words at what level of qualification do I need to obtain before I can call myself a captain? NPPL PPL PRAT etc..

Irony sw to OFF

hee hee I have managed to slip the link into a wannabies thread. Wonder how many of them will think its cool.

[gsora]

Does it get bigger or smaller depending on the stress level?

Och will you never learn M-J That's how the Pink headset fiasco started.

[Miles Magister]

I have actually seen one. Whether you like it or not, it is actually nicely made.

[batoutofhell]

the funny thing about it is although we may all laugh i bet it sells.

what was that joke about how do you know if there's a pilot in the room?

[hubbs1982]

I thought the Captain's Log came from the Captain's Ring.

[TheGorrilla]

Does the captains log have his licence number on it?? We spent weeks in the halls of accomodation at traing school trying to find the fantom ****ter!

[flybymike]

Ugh...............

[Tinstaafl]

Bit unrealistic I think. As far I can tell it doesn't look anything like my ring.

[Will Hung]

Only a complete ringpiece would wear one of them. Plenty of them around though.

I bet the guy that turns up in military flying suit, boots and gloves to fly a Cherokee has one !!

[kalleh]

Not sure why wearing such a ring would be the subject of such mockery. For example at least here in Sweden many with master degrees in engineering wear a special ring to mark their achievement and also to express pride of their craft. You can think whatever you want about that, but taking pride in what you do is something that is too absent in today's society IMO, with or without rings to show it to your friends and colleagues.

[flybymike]

There is some truth in Kalleh's remarks.

[foxmoth]

Just not British old boy!

Smacks too much of boasting!
