Cpl Steward at Silloth about 1957-58. Remember there were over a million airmen just 10 years or so previously followed by the demob. Then, come Korea and the Cold War there was a post-war expansion in many air forces but in contrast there were probably less civilian jobs, certainly not jobs offering the same excitement as the Services. Re-enlisting was quite common. I think even previously commissioned officers rejoined as rankers.
