A few years ago there was an advert for a quote: retired RAFVR(T) Flight Lieutenant - un quote whose pension wasn't much and he was on hard times.
The clear implication for those not in the know was that this chap couldn't live on a measely air force pension.
I wrote to the chief of staff at the then Personnel and Training Command and suggested they get on the case. The response was that the legal eagles weren't bothered and no action was intended, despite the fact there is no RAFVR(T) pension and never was. It was this guy's civilian job that didn't have a decent pension but there was no mention of that.
