Hi everyone,
After thinking "I want a job ashore" I have decided to return to the high sea with the RFA. Can i buy the uniform from the RN or does anyone know where i can get second hand officer uniform.
Cheers

Sorry to disillusion you, but basic physics (as theorised by Archimedes) instatiated by some pretty heavy engineering (as implemented and over-charged by Big And Expensive) is what keeps the Navy afloat; mined ewe, the RFA may indeed keep the RN fed and fuelled!
