'I'm an astronaut' is a claim that most would not take seriously but what about 'I'm an ex-RAAF pilot with a number of types (aircraft endorsements)'? Astronauts are a rare breed unlike RAAF pilots past and present. The problem for one Mr Malone is that he is not one of them. He is not and never has been a pilot or other aircrew in the RAAF or RAF or any other airforce anywhere in the world. We can go further, he is not and never has been a commercial or even private pilot anywhere in the world.
Whilst it may seem like fun to 'play act' at being a person in a particular profession you need to take care not to mislead or deceive. Depending on the circumstances and actions, if you try that 'game' in Australia it maybe viewed as fraud. The end result of this is that you may have the law feel your collar! and that applies to any person or persons who reiterates these false claims.
Best of British to you.
