I can't post peoples names on here but if Capt. Evans were to PM me I would pass him the details, that said, I would be surprised if he hasn't already got them

The age in the UK was reduced to sixty in the 1970s or early eighties, it was done over night without consultation. Many of us have been campaigning ever since to have the retirement age of 65 returned to us, it is what we originally signed up for. Not popular with a number of FOs, I know, but it was ours originally, possibly well before many of them became aviators and so may not be aware that 65 was where it all started, not 60.
