I left at my 38 point and twice afterwards the RAF tried to "tempt" me back into my old job, once as a high readiness reserve (pilot) and on the second occasion into full time aircrew service. As a reservist they expected me to fly back to UK from the far east once a month at my own expense, they would only pay motor mileage from Heathrow Airport to Odiham. The second time I was informed my pension would be abated. Seriously, what planet are they on?
