What rank is the >> fella << on the right?

He looks as though he has got a Tate & Lyle on his sleeve but is also carrying a sword and seems to have an officers cap badge.

Looks like a W.O to me, all the scrambled egg is 'cos he's a Bandsman.

Looks like a salad-dodging, scruffy fukker.

It's not Marriott, is it? Pretending he's still in.

I thought so until I put the sword and hat badge into the equation.

RAF muscians are not my strong suit by any means. Seems scruffy bandsman is the best bet have a look here.

Also this SAC has all the fancy shoulder decoration and one of the same badges on the arm.

Question is why is the long grey haired old duffer on the left carrying the sword without a belt? - the pair of the scruffy tw@ts should be in the guardroom for setting a sh1te example to the new recruits at Halton and lowering the tone of the uniform - just cos the RAF was created on the 1st of April doesn't mean tw@ts like them two can act like a pair of clowns

What instrument do you play by the way?

 

[Big Jock]

Is it possible that the one on the left is holding a sword that is in fact a prize to be presented (best recruit or similar). As for the apparition on the right, words fail me.

The RM just blow each other, don't they?DT_Xtremez_14:

 

[vim_fuego]

Its common knowledge that most people that actively advertise their membership are in fact bandsmen...DT_Xtremez_17:

 

[Big Jock]

I just had a look at the other pictures, picture 1 shows that he is wearing his sword belt UNDER his jacket. I must admit to never having seen that before.

Think this must be a made up picture. Officers (WO) wearing white gloves?

You wear white gloves because sweat fekks up the gold on the swords - he might not have a belt as they are "Ranked" and some fekker got him the wrong one so he has used the sword support sling on his normal belt under his jacket - but then again fekk knows

Is there a pet Discip in the house? Where's "my shiney arse" when you need him?

Well we can now see that the fat controller/conductor has a very posh Wobbly Orange hat with a comedy peak

The bloke with the 4 inverted chevrons looks like he's about to give himself a "dirty sanchez"
