Would one expect a classic car to be kept at government, i.e. public, expense?
Man up! I'm guessing the overseas posting was't a 'go, or get sacked' choice.
Really? One could take the car at public expense (almost) through Marchwood, you should never be disadvantaged financially because of a an overseas move. Do you have any idea how much the RAF is struggling to get people to go overseas? Why do you think they came up with that pathetic attempt at improving the offer? No one really wants to go any more as the whole things costs too much and your attitude compounds that sentiment.
edited to add: Prior to volunteering for some US posts you have to ring up the Unit so you can receive a brief warning you of the financial implications of volunteering i.e. you'll be massively out of pocket.
