My Dad said things were getting bad in 67. He then said things were tight in 71/2 when we pulled out of the Far East. In 74 he came out on redundancy and said the backbone of the RAF would be broken. I joined in 78.Within 3 years we were saying cuts were going to far. I think we hit the “Anymore cuts and we can’t cope anymore” in 84, 87, 91, 95, 97, 01, 03, and for me in 07 when I came out on redundancy. On every occasion the masters in charge said “Anymore and it will break!! In my life I have seen the RAF demolished from nearly 200,000 to 35,000.
Personally, I don’t think it will stop until there are 200 Personnel and two aircraft (one spare) to fly the flag of so called Great Britain.
Unless of course we have a proper war and the politicians will say “o oh, we fcuked up again!!!!”
