I can't say I understand all this modern jargon, so this is probably most unhelpful, but . . . .


In 1958 our lords and masters decreed that there were too many aircrew in the RAF and in common with many others I was informed that as of 31st December 1958 I was discharged 'Due to the contraction of the Service . . .' So the axe fell and there were several ex-WWII SNCO pilots sent on their way, at least one of my acquaintance in tears at the news.


So, when the RAF comes down to one squadron of pointy jets and one of drone controllers, what is to stop the same thing happening again?


Anyway, good luck and may your service and life be long and profitable.
