I don't think so.


Perhaps if they spent more of their time flying, then the training system would not need to generate so many of them.

Has anyone got figures for how many (serviceable) aircraft the RAF have?

It must be at least a dozen.

BGG
Naaaa there is a dead Tornado sitting at East Midlands, so make that 11......

Luckily it isn't a F3, the one that went into Leeming with a birdstrike to the canopy was scrapped and reduced to produce.

Pity it wasn't an F3 - we only need those for 3 more weeks!

The interesting question remains ... how much of a shafting can we expect take on our pensions? That, for me will be the go/no go decision maker.

We'll begin to know the answer to that on Thursday when the Hutton report is published.

Good job they aren't getting rid of navigators.

WW,

You're right - they are getting rid of WSOs!

Any monkey can push buttons. Navigation requires knowledge, intellect and intelligence.

Is that why the Monkey in the front of the F3 has the maps?

Don't be silly - no self-respecting F3 driver ever carries maps - that's what WSOs (god bless 'em) are for.

IMPORTANT NOTICE - PROGRAM ERRORS FOUND IN THE ARMED FORCES REDUNDANCY CALCULATOR

A program error has been found in the Armed Forces Redundancy Calculator (AFRC) version 1.1 in respect to the redundancy element. The error has been corrected but unfortunately, those personnel that fall into the following categories will have received a spurious forecast and need to run a further forecast from Version 1.2 of the AFRC to obtain a revised redundancy award:

1. AFRS 06 and AFRS 10 - Break in Service - if you have entered a break in service under either redundancy scheme you will need to produce another forecast.

2. AFRS 10 - Enlistment date before age 18- if you have an enlistment date before age 18 under AFRS 10 you will need to produce another forecast.

3. AFRS 10 - Officers with an Enlistment date before age 21 - if you are an officer with an enlistment date before age 21 under AFRS 10 you will need to produce another forecast.

4. AFRS 06 - Rejoiner - if you are a rejoiner and entered a period of service to be aggregated with your current service under AFRS 06 you will need to produce another forecast.

SPVA apologise for any inconvenience caused by these errors, please ensure you use Version 1.2 of the AFRC to produce your revised forecast.

A copy of this message will be placed on the SPVA Info-centre and the MOD Redundancy web page WEF 09:00 17 Mar 11.
