Shy Torque
Some of those in 1994 were COMPULSORY redundancies and it was known as Black Tuesday. I think it was in the October? We had to wait around all day long whilst those who were getting the axe were called in one by one. I know of one Air Eng who was with me on Applied Flt at Finners who went under a great deal of protest! Ended up working as a prison officer at Doncatraz.
Granted Sir, a lot of them had volunteered and were happy to go. This was also the time they did away with the Sim trade (L Tech ST) in toto and Stats people. I knew a lot of ST's who were far from happy at going even if they were getting a full 18 months pay (tax free) and 16/22nds of a full pension.
Part of options for change, or was it the peace dividend?
No that's it I remember it was the Tories meanest of all defence cuts..
Front line first ha ha ha ha!!
