The RAF: From frontline to bikini line
The British Royal Air Force is celebrating its 90th birthday. That’s nice, because for the rest the British armed forces don’t have much to celebrate these days.
Iraq hasn’t been a huge success – and a the moment what’s left of the British army there is hiding out at some obscure Basra airport, while fighting in the area is now intensifying. In Afghanistan things aren’t going all that much better, to be honest – and the much acclaimed War on terror isn’t even close to being won.
In other words, morale at home and abroad isn’t all that high. So, it’s a good thing that some smart folks at the RAF got together and came up with a new approach to engage the enemy. I have to say that the result is quite impressive. I’m not sure what the Geneva Convention will have to say about it, because the whole thing is more than a bit irregular.
In fact, one could say this new approach is a cross between the new-fangled dirty bomb and the more classical sex bomb:
The Royal Air Force is celebrating its 90th anniversary with the launch of a “show-stopping” diamante-encrusted bikini.
The swimwear, which leaves little room for hanging medals, is part of the RAF Collection’s Spring range. A spokeswoman for the RAF Collection said: “The collection will enable the next generation to own a piece of one of the United Kingdom’s most prestigious brands.”
In RAF colours, the bikini top retails at £20, while the bottoms are £15. Sizes are available in 8 to 18. The RAF Collection website, which sells the bikini online, describes it as a “show-stopping bikini (which) will make anyone’s head turn, yet which is distinctly tasteful and flattering to the figure”. The garment is also available through mail order.
