RAG Hit Squad - 1987
Some of these photos have appeared elsewhere as the result of scans of prints, but this is the "definitive" collection of Plymouth Polytechnic's 1987 RAG "Hit Squad" in Action. For a modest fee, the Hit Squad would target a student (or the occasional member of staff) and apply a variety of substances: flour, eggs, water and mystery goo.

Aftermath |
The victim is helpless under the onslaught of, well, pretty much everything at once |
In the SU canteen, another victim recovers (the chicken quarter on the table remains unscathed, but a copy of "Fly" takes a serious flouring) |
