Ryanair cabin crew girls strip off for charity calendar

The girls, who look more like page three pinups than cabin crew, pout and pose in various locations around an airport and on-board their planes.

Then there's Miss July Edita, reclining on a large wheel with a wrench in her hand and axel grease smeared over her bared torso.

The complement is joined by a selection of other Ryanair staff, all similarly attired in flesh-flashing bikini tops and bottoms.

The images are a long way from Ryanair's usual uniform, demure buttoned-up blue suits and high neck blouses.

And though the girls are probably guaranteed to get flight-deck temparatures soaring, some might say they are not the best advert for children's charity Angels Quest, which will receive proceeds from the calendar.

Despite the risque nature of some of the images, the company claims the publication is good fun in a worthwhile cause.

Eddie Wilson, of Ryanair, said: "Ryanair's gorgeous cabin crew are raising the cabin temperature with 2008's hottest calendar.
