A quick random search of the Gazette found this page from Oct last year, it appears to be "ops normal" to me:

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
HS, you are talking tradition, or as someone said of the RAF habit.
To remove pomposity you would need to abolish, at a stroke, all the different regimental uniforms, mess undress, and any thing else that has no modern utility.
It was bad enough when the Air Force Lists were abolished.

MB, paper copy?
IIRC it went electronic at one point and J-class reserve were no longer listed and the Retired list was dropped.

PN,
as I said, different. It's an electronic version on the RAF Manning intranet site, only serving officers and WOs listed as far as I recall.

There are lists of serving officers in all three services at https://www.gov.uk/government/public...rces-list-2013 - not the AFL as we knew it, but better than nothing!
A friend of mine in the medal trade had a complete run of Army and Navy lists dating back to the early 19th century. It had taken him years to put them together, and cost him a small fortune, but they were a fantastic aid to research. I'm wondering if since the AFL etc went digital they have been put onto CD ROM. If not, all this information will be lost to researchers in the future.

I wonder how much was "saved" to lose all that.

MB, thank you and you're right on both counts. I got my post-nominal updated in one of the last paper ones. When there was a further change, as I wad not on JPA it was not possible.
At the cost of a little server space it would have been possible to refile retiring personnel to another list. Of course public access would have been denied under the great god DPA; that the Gazette, newspapers and HMSO had previously released such information would have cut no ice.
