Men and women of 23 Squadron, based at RAF Waddington, in Lincolnshire, have appeared
in a nude calendar to raise funds for children’s charity Strut (Short Term Respite
Unit Trust).
RAF senior officers’ concerns were apparently removed when they saw
that the calendar was “tasteful.” The aircrew appear at work in military situations
dressed only in their flying boots. The calendar has sold 1,500 copies in two months,
and the aircrew hope to sell 5,000 by Christmas, raising £17,000.

The calendar is being sold for £7 including post and packing. It will also help 
the National Kidney Research Fund Lincoln Renal Unit.
