A world of difference between someone on RAFResA and someone serving in the RAuxAF....

It was widely reported that the call-out of those serving on RAFResA was the first large-scale call-out since Suez. So to say that all PVR'd personnel with a call-out liability should 'Be prepared to be called up and sent wherever ordered' is stretching credulity somewhat.

Cut backs in regular manning and over-reliance on RAFResA and RAFResO are all part of the plethora of defence cut backs inflicted on the UK over the years. Bliar's adventurism is not achievable without it, it would seem....

Liability for call-out and liability for recall are 2 very different matters; there is no such thing as 'call up' unless you mean general mobilisation?
