In another outrageous attack on the freedoms so beloved of our sceptered isle, those dastardly 'so-called allies' of ours, those colonial USians are trying to take away our moustaches. Luckily a plucky RAF chappie has made a stand against these gun-toting invasion monkeys. Good on you Flight Lieutenant Ball.

Facial hair - is it a Samson like essential for any good pilot?

I think he has failed on the Biggles look and won on the 70's pornstar look:)

What, it's not 'news' if it's not about 10,000 people being horribly killed?

No wonder people are so cynical these days, if they don't even want to hear about good/funny news.

This is a proud moment for scruffies everywhere! Facial hair is not a crime! (really, after fucking toolbox yuppie fuckers started sporting goatees, I thought this wouldn't have to be said...)

FLt.Ball with his moustaches on is vaguely reminiscent of Freddie Mercury. GO MOUSTACHES!

Dito....
No fighter pilot should have a cheesy mustache. If he can get it to look cool then it is okay. If not(this pilot failed miserably) it should be trimmed or removed

The handlebar moustache is traditional in the RAF. My dad had one when he was in the Korean War.
