Flash8,
you don't fancy a job on the Nimrod do you?
Reckon the RAF will snap you up if you fancy instructing and will sign on till 55....
Just a thought!
In all seriousness, though, why don't you give it a go? Plenty more strange things go on. Reckon you'll find the pay smarts a tad (depends on contract) but they're facing such an egress of experience that they won't be able to dismiss your application without due thought.
BEags,
My sources tell me that the percentage of PVR on the OCU is higher than that even, but I stand to be corrected.
