Agreed, went to the Christmas party 2 weeks after I left and bar my photography at Cosford and Waddington, I have not stepped back on an RAF station since. I have been contacted by a couple of old friends and also contacted one... but that is it, agree about the RAFA etc, It was like my smoking, my resettlement period was over Christmas, so I said to myself on new years eve, that's the RAF done with and these too... never smoked since.
