KitBag ,

Where are them figures available for use.

Current manning gives about 40k strength, current officer core gives us just over 10k , thats a quarter of all troops in the RAF are commisioned.
I know we can all use figures and change the view on things , thats what has made the officer bretheren last so long. but 1 officer for 4 airmen sounds a bit better. 20 years earlier things were so different.

I am glad in a way that finally we are going to loose numbers at the top as the RAF has had it coming for a long time. Justice maybe but its the only way to preserve the RAF for the future.
