The last date I had to wear uniform I drove home quietly through the countryside reflecting to myself how badly the RAF had gone downhill over the previous 2-3 years.....
I wondered quite why I'd bothered to devote all my time and energies of the previous 35 years to an organisation which was now so hell-bent on self-immolation. Which hadn't even had the good grace to say thanks.
Then, the next day I got stuck into a civilian job. Hourly paid, no bull****, no secondary duties and with a tangible outcome to one's effort. It's coming up to 5 years now since I left and, regrettably, the RAF seems to be in a high speed spiral descent to oblivion..... Will it actually see its 100th anniversary?
blogger, you are a charmer, aren't you....
