Funnily enough I have just been talking to my neighbour, ex FAA, now a civvy observer instructor on the King Airs at Culdrose. He is ex 771 and still does some time with them as a reservist, but as you say that will come to an end in Jan 2016.
He did look into the possibility of a job with Bristows at Newquay, but apparently these are like hen's teeth. Strangely enough the same does not apply to jobs at Stornaway!
It will be a great shame when the Sea Kings finally disappear from the skies around here - they seem to have been here for ever.
Even though they aren't yellow!
