All,
after a quarter of a century in this Air Force, I just wrote a short note in my diary......... Bu&&er!
To all the unfortunates out there, all I can say is I personally feel for you all, and truely hope you all get through this utter cluster fl1p with your souls intact.
Most of the older posters here have seen Defence Reviews, but this is nothing short of blatant, cash grabbing vandalism. I believe, history will record as much.
Finally, and it hurts me to say, I don't think the worst is over yet. It may have been a very calculating choice to wield the axe at Pilots first. The natural sentiment being, 'If they will do that to them (the 2 winged masters) non of us are safe!'
Good Luck All for the future, I hope your next employer holds your skills in better regard than HMG clearly does.
