Transferring from RAF to CAF,RAAF,RNZAF
Does anyone out there know if the Canadian Air Force, Royal Australian Air Force or the Royal NZ Air Force, are looking for experienced Air Traffic Controllers who would like to transfer from the RAF?

Ex,
Plenty of ex RAF, RCAF and SAAF guys have made the move to the RAAF over the last ten years or so, with varying degrees of success.
The South Africans and Knucks I've seen have few problems transitioning. From my limited research (read: lots of yarping on in the back-bar), the way traffic is processed in the UK is VERY different to how the job is done here. All I'll say is that some guys make the transition with more speed and success than others.
As I understand the situation, the RNZAF does not employ permanent Air Force controllers these days, rather some civil controllers are retained as reservists for 'when the need arises'.
Given our manning levels at present, I'm sure the RAAF is still talking to guys from the UK, both RAF and RN.
