ah - just found it -

3.43
As part of the measures to address manning shortages during 2005-06, the Army awarded 358 Golden Hellos, 26 Re-Joining Bounties and 200 Transfer Bonuses for those moving into Operational Pinch Points. As an indication of the effectiveness of short term measures, the manning position for Army Aircrew had improved with a surplus of Lynx and Gazelle Aircrew leading to withdrawal of the FRI in April 2006, a year earlier than planned.

so that's ok then.

I bet all the Army Aircrew in Helmand and Iraq are pretty impressed with that one.
