Moustache victory

Jun 13 2008

A hirsute RAF fighter pilot has won his battle with the United States Air Force after he was told to trim his moustache.

Flight Lieutenant Chris Ball was ordered to reduce the size of his bushy handlebar moustache while on an exchange posting with the USAF.

Flt Lt Ball, currently based in Afghanistan realised the length of his moustache had not breached RAF guidelines and successfully argued his case to spare it from the clippers.
