Aircrew strip for fundraising calendar
Howard Lake | 28 August 2002 | News
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.
