Times have certainly changed. Back in the late 60's when I had about 6 months to go to the end of my RN time I had an interview with Alan Green at Redhill. Apart from being given a few circuits as an enticer in what was one of the very first JetRangers in the UK, he offered me £500 cash there and then if I would commit to joining Bristow six months later, a lot of money then as my RN pay was £1700pa. I declined and subsequently joined another all ex-RN outfit but 20 years later like many others ended up working for them anyway.
