Can Girls Leave on Marriage
IIRC when the WRAF disbanded and merged with the RAF this option was withdrawn....
... but not before, unless it is an urban myth, a number of (male) pilots at Valley used it as a precident and left pretty much overnight (rather than the 18mths wait time that was in force for PVRs at that time).

I thought the option was withdrawn due to the sex discrimination act when the girlies demand equality, blokes asked to leave on marriage, thus the loophole had to be closed.
Similar situation with the OAP, women will have to be 65 to qualify, same age as the men, rather than 5 years earlier (although I believe this is heading for 67).
Don't you just love equality.

Seriously, you are going to have to be more polite if you expect a decent answer from them.
Just because we all refer to RAF pilots as "girls", doesn't mean they like it.......

Right to leave on marriage
Women haven't had the right to leave on marriage since at least early 1988. I remember having a specific brief on the rule change when down at OASC because it was sufficiently new that the paperwork hadn't been put out to Careers Offices yet. That would have been something like Feb '88, so about 20 years ago!
