RAF Club:
Serving Officers pay from £41 to a maximum of £161 (Air Cdre & above.)
eg Sqn Ldr £80.
(Figures from the Club website.)
Thats true, F-L, but I felt somewhat aggrieved when I discovered that as a retired flight lieutenant I was paying more than a serving group captain!
I have in fact just resigned, purely because on the rare occasions I visit London I have as often as not been unsuccessful in securing a room. However I do agree with the "oasis" argument, and though the bedrooms may be pretty poky by most standards (the Premier Inn room I stayed in on my last visit knocked spots off the Club bedrooms), the public areas are terrific, and a drink in the Cowdray Lounge is the one thing I'll really miss on my next visit, whenever that may be.
