You should be able to access the Blunt Ones APs on line via HM's intranet these days.
Whilst doing PVR-porridge at Binnsworth, I discovered all sorts of useful things that way whilst whiling away the chuff-days. Including various requirements which certain DeskO's had overlooked and which therefore meant that I was able to tell a colleague that he/she/it could state quite categorically that he/she/it had only been 'considering' requesting an extension of service rather than formally requesting it - because no paperwork had been raised by the Sqn Cdr.
Which made quite a difference between his/her/its 'ORD retirement' pension rate and 'PVR from Extended Service' pension rate.
