I suspect not. When I retired in 2007 I enquired as to why my retirement did not feature in the London Gazette and was advised that the RAF had decided to stop doing it as the civil servant responsible at Innsworth had been disestablished/refused to move to High Wycombe and it was seen as a reasonable point in time to make a bit of a financial saving!
Wishing to complete my collection (Commissioning/Promotions etc) of my Gazette entries for my family history record I asked a mate at Innsworth to 'see what he could do' - he did! But I suspect that I was one of the last to have his retirement gazetted (unless policy has now been reversed!).
