We had a brief from Fleet a couple of months ago where they stated that "In working practice there is no such thing as Return of Service"... It is appled (as we all know) but it is probably illegal. They stated 2 cases wgere people tried to leave whilst still shackled to a Return of Service...the 2 individuals paid about £50 a piece for strongly worded letters from solicitors and the Navy backed away.... Im sure the RAF will be the same. They can do without a long protracted court case (which they will lose) and so if you put your letter in accompanied with a solicitors letter Im sure you will find the door being held open wide.
