I cannot resist a wry smile. In 1990 Wyton was the first "budget" station, and as an almost qualified CIMA accountant I was posted in as OC Admin, together with a Budget Manager. With a staish keen on improving the lot of the chaps and chappesses, we used the budget to everyone's advantage, including the rise in value of fuel funding long overdue married quarter improvements, which did not please the AOC (a hidden bonus).The idea was that budgeting and budget management would eventually work its way across the whole MOD landscape. Seems like nearly 30 years on nothing has improved.
BTW, did the PAC get onto the debacle that is Air cadet gliding.... maybe not....yet
