All good/bad things have to come to an end! Thanks for taking us on the journey! 👍
I remember my last day (HQ MATO at RAF Uxbridge). Clearance already done by instalments, so just handed in my F1250 and drove home to Bracknell (my wife’s lovely OMQ at the RAF Staff College) and breathed a deep sigh of relief. My 30-year Military journey was over, with its pluses and minuses, and I was FREE!
Well, except for producing the Wives’ Club Newsletter, and going semi-full time as Secretary of the RAF Small Arms Association, and waited for my wife’s Redundancy to come through (which it did a year or so later!). It was a strange time, with RAF uniform largely retired to the back of the wardrobe … and it was many years before I would choose to wear anything blue!
