I was given a booklet entitiled "Notes for Officers retiring from the Royal Air Force"
18th Edition July 1992
Issued by the Air Secretary.
It says I'm liable to be recalled to service with the Regular Air Force at a time of imminent national danger. Up to the age of 60 in my case. It also says I will be employed in my former branch in a rank no lower than the substantive rank held at the time of retirement.
I didn't like the sound of half of my retired pay being abated for the privilege. I liked even less the statement that any portion of my retired pay (i.e. pension) that had been commuted would be recovered from my pay. Thankfully I'm too old for the last bit.
I have to keep RAF Innsworth informed of my address changes, which of course I have always done. However, they seem to have lost interest in me when I emigrated; they not been in touch recently and always seem to send the letters back saying "not at this address".
