So-called 'starter homes' in Witney, near Brize, are roughly three times the price they should be if inflation is taken into account. Service pay most definitely hasn't kept pace, I'm sorry to say.....

The 2-bed box with garage I bought in 1983 should now cost £109K. However, similar homes are currenty advertised at £365K, usually without garages. How the heck would a newly promoted single aircrew Flt Lt, let alone a married airman (or whatever the latest woke word is) afford that??
