I took my 8 year option in '73 and due to lack of Flt Nav jobs joined CAA as an ATCO. After dinner one evening in '77 with 2 old Herc' nav' mates decided I really missed being a transport nav' and applied to rejoin.
Thank goodness I found out that the intended posting for me was the V Force, ( transport being overburdened with navs due to the demise of the Comet, Brit, Belfast and Andover fleets ) - having been a Herc' nav' there was no way you would get me in the back of a Vulcan or Victor. Deathtraps for the rear crew! I declined the offer to rejoin!
