Appointments in the Telegraph
 

Why is it that there are never any Royal Air Force appointments in the Daily Telegraph. The Navy and The Army appear regularly and there are thousands of church postings. It would be nice to know how ones old mates or even old enemies are doing. Could it be that we would see how many senior officers there are holding strange jobs.

Perhaps the presumption is that the RAF is so small that you'd know everyone in it.:)

For want of something better to do you could always go to the RAF website click on "Organisation" and then click on "Senior Appointments" and all will become clear!

3P:ok:

Maybe the Royal Navy and the Army have it by way of a tradition. Maybe when the RAF is old enough to have traditions it might do something similar. Then again, why bother, when the RAF is subsumed again then you will find it happening for you anyway!

I believe the RAF is just about old enough to have developed habits. :ok:

Doesn't it cost to put notices in the Torygraph and all is spent from what I gather................

AA

And most of those are bad, as someone once stated......................:ok:

There certainly used to be RAF appointments in the DT and Times, down to wg cdr posts-I still have a copy of the notice of my appointment to OC Handbrake House "somewhere in Cambridgeshire" in 1990.

Threeputt,

" RAF website click on "Organisation""

RAF and organisation in the same sentence, is that not close to an oxymoron?

Military promotions and appointments have been published since 1655.

In that vayne, the RAF have another couple of hundred years before they can develop that habit.

Simple

In the financial mess we find ourselves in, you can have an option: either Daily Telegraph announcements or the Reds, not both.

:ok:

Military promotions and appointments have been published since 1655.

In that vain, the RAF have another couple of hundred years before they can develop that habit.

In which vein?

When will shirtlifter WAFUs (as someone recently called them) learn to spell?

That's a dangerous argument you are peddling there. Long standing tradition infers age. And with age comes senility, talking gibberish, permanently smelling of biscuits all shortly followed by death.

Therefore to take your line of argument to its logical conclusion, the RAF are the young upstarts, coming into their time whilst the Army and Navy are due for the old peoples' home at which point the RAF then takes it rightful place. :E

Probably from the same budget that stopped producing the Air Force List and the Retired Officer List.

The latter was especially useful: it showed two things. One, that you were still alive and two, that you weren't a Walt.

Never mind the spelling - post their addresses..............! We could all do with some garment altering in these difficult times.:ok:

Senior RAF appointments are published in the Times and Telegraph as and when they occur. The graduating officers from RAFC Cranwell are also listed the day after their graduation parades. The rest of us have to make do with the half yearly promotion lists in the London Gazette.
As for the Air Force List and Retired List, RAF Manning is supposed to be thrashing through the Data Protection Act issues before publishing them online on DII.

My Lord Melchett,

That's a dangerous argument you are peddling there. Long standing tradition infers age. And with age comes experience, talking sound common sense based on that experience, permanently getting to the biscuits before the upstarts due to cunning derived from that long experience, all shortly followed by mentions in the London Gazette and a long and happy retirement tickling crabs out of their shallow rock pools where they are to be found – due to their lack of experience – looking for biscuits…………………:ok:

bast0n ..... that's what my old instructor said. As we pushed his wheelchair in to the old fogies home!

My Lord M

Was he in the wheel chair - and did you damage the old fogies home?...:ok:

My Lord M

I knew you would not believe me about -

I quite understand as I forgot to add the photo...................:ok:
