Letter to CAS

Gents - I was wondering what address I should use for the Chief of the Air Staff?

Thanks in advance.

Best that I could find was:

Ministry of Defence | Contact us | Ask a Minister

Are you planning to ask exactly what it is he is Chief of these days? Don't expect a long reply!

...assuming you're not writing to congratulate him on something, it might be safer to sign as your PPrune nom de plume, with PPrune Towers as your address...

If you don't get any replies from the above addresses, just write to him at the board of BAE Systems, he'll pick up the message in a year or two.

@A2QFI and @Duncs Thanks both. I thought as much but didn't want to assume.

Not really in a position to discuss content - but appreciate the replies.

Thanks.

I think you may find that he now resides at HQ Air Command, RAF High Wycombe, HP14 4UE although I'm sure the MOD address listed earlier will also reach him. Good Luck!

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

You could try the search facility and post it here on PPRuNe. Didn't there used to be a thread called "Good Morning Sir" or something like that?

I would address him as 'Sir'...

Although you'll find that:

Chief of the Air Staff
Spitfire Block
Royal Air Force High Wycombe
Buckinghamshire
HP14 4UE

will also work!

In theory he splits his time between Town and High Wycombe - not sure what the practice is!
Get his post nominals right too.
.. not forgetting the GCB he acquired on Saturday. As the old joke has it: "twice a knight - and at his age too!"

boom boom

@PontiusNavigator & @teeteringhead Thanks for the post-nominals 'heads-up' but it would appear that the RAF has got it wrong....

RAF - Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) ... no GCB....

@RedLineEntry

Appreciate the insight... I'll address it to the office. Thanks.

Why write to him anyway? If its a question then you probably already know the answer! If its a request then the answer will be NO!! And if its your resignation then he will gladly accept!!

how about Oi! matey!

At least that will get you noticed.
he gets egg on hat, I have egg on face and foot in mouth - at least thats what my last appraisal said.....!

I thought the opening line would be:

Sir,
followed closely by your whinge and then the traditional offering him outside round the hangar for counselling

Then all that guff about humble servant etc....

I think he likes to be called Nobby, so you might like to try that?
