Heard 80% of those in the bracket applied! Therefore the 20% who didn't are probably Fairy/DF Cheifs then! I know 2 of these who have just PVR'd anyway to go and work for BAe for what amounts to more money with their pension and without the hastle of dets/OOA Guard Cmdr etc etc. Watch out for the PVRs from all those disappointed with not getting redundancy when the 3 tranches are finished. Talk about flood gates. Still the RN boys who are taking over at two secret airbases in middle England could fill the gaps once they're trained on non maritime types!Or the Army boys could be seconded in from the Apache to fill the gaps! Heaven help us!
