So, they have been compensated by the MOD for
nine years of lost earnings and pension perks
Does that mean that in 9 years time, they are eligible to re-pay the amount they actually earned in said 9 years?
They were never going to be able to earn 18 years worth of salary if they stayed in the RAF so why should they now be able to?
I know this is off topic, and I'm sure it's not how the legal system sees it, but it does seem absurd!
