15 years in. Read a degree in engineering. Taught in Uni. Did some consultancy. Retired at 50.

Now flying model aeroplanes and helicopters and spending a lot of time with my beautiful wife and wonderful children.

Where did it all start going so horribly wrong?

They are highly sort after by flight training schools at the moment, as the number of Navs leaving the RAF diminishes!

Talksport Host

Isn't there an ex-nav out there who is doing very well thank you out of being the media's point of reference for all things Iraqi/aviation/military??

Probably pockets a lot more cash than I do for doing a lot less than I do as well
I caught this one on Talksport at midnight last Friday hosting his own show and talking, appropriately enough, about useless celebrities being on TV shows.

Cool They have special skills

I know two have gone into UK defence companies working on RAF projects and are able to use their old chums/contacts in the FJ sqns, can talk a/crew talk and therefore be a useful conduit and liaison between industry and the 'user'.
They have done pretty well in the industry and also get the chance to chew the fat with their old mockers.
They also know whether to get jam donuts rather than apple.
win/win sitn.
