Apologies firstly as I can't find a more appropriate forum to post this on.

Although Pprune has excellent covereage of RAF aircrew issues, the ground based trades have limited cover and for the likes of myself there seems to be even less out there for those looking at RAuxAF roles (too old to join the regulars!).

Does anyone know of any forums or websites which can yield any more information on the Royal Auxiliry Air Force?

I have thoroughly read and re-read the RAF's website and googled to my hearts content but there seems to be very little information out there.

Thanks in advance,
Obs

There seems to be an Aux RAF vacancy.

Par for the course, first answer being cr^p.

There is a number of Royal Auxilliary Air Force positions. There are movements squadrons, force protection, and even some more esoteric roles. Start here:

RAF Reserves - Homepage (http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafreserves/)

I haven't delved in to it as I don't know your specifics. You might opt for 'any' that is closest to you or to a specific area. Given your handle, Force Protection might be what you want, ie the Auxilliary Regiment sqns, one of which is at Waddington.
