Do they still not have the facility for a person leaving one of the services to work for a civvy company for a few weeks before leaving? I'm sure many companies would be only too willing to give someone a free trial if it wasn't costing them anything, as he was still being paid by MOD.
Get a friendly crab to get you an 'Aircraft Engineering Tradesmens' record book (RAF Form 6859?) or a record log book from the ALAE (Association of Licensed Aircraft Engineers ) http://www.alae.org/ The ALAE log book might be better as it is laid out in a CAA approved fashion.
If you don't want to fork out,just get a good quality note book to record your experience & get it all stamped up.
Take a look at the CAA Safety Regulation Group (SRG) Personnel licencing website it has lots of useful gen & FAQ section
http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=177&pagetype=68
There is a lot of work out there & the industry is struggling in some area's to find people with any sort of formal training. Its a bit daunting at first but once your in amongst it you'll soon 'sus' how everything works.

If you want to work on the line a A licence is very desirable, without it you cannot now hold pre- flt/daily /limited and simple approvals etc which makes you not a whole lot of use in a line enviroment, in fact the company i work for will not now employ mechs on the line who do not hold a least a A licence.
