Must be much different weather than the mid 20's with cool nights that we are getting. Fall is the best season where we are. Summer is the sucky weather.

Dixie's at Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, I think he does transports.


If anyone is interested, there is a specific mention of the Tristar in the document available to the public.

quote:

withdraw the three variants of the TriStar transport/tanker aircraft from service from 2013 as we transition to the more capable A330;


What this means specifically to me is that Tristar will be withdrawn from summer 2013, so I'm on a dying squadron again. Although my last lot are still limping on 18 months after I left them

He does tankers.


Tankers and transports, mostly the transport role at the moment. 216 is heavily involved in the Afghanistan airbridge which takes most of our time.

Still nothing in the detail sorted yet, but we (the RAF) are losing 5000 bods. No idea as yet where they're going to come from or how this affects me trying to extend my service dates. I've been told that the SDSR won't affect my chances of further service, but I'm not sure I believe that.

Still, Harriers are gone. VC-10 and Tristar are going. RAF Scotland is winding down. No Nimrods, not sure how the TN feel about that. Tornado fleet is being scaled back. Several bases will be closed. maybe the Pongoes will move in when we move out.

The Nimrod situation doesn't affect me directly, but who knows what will happen down the line. I have a sneaking suspicion I'll be on 216 now until either myself or the Tristar is out of service, the out date isn't far ahead for either of us now so they probably won't be sending us masses of manpower just to move them again soon.

If civvy street wasn't such a mess I wouldn't be too concerned, but the chances of getting a job that pays as well as this one are probably quite slim back home. Time to look into airline licences and OU courses methinks.

I'll stop now before I start ranting about politics I can discuss more away from the public eye if you really want to know what I think


I suppose you could move to the States. I hear the USAF is hiring.

If you put an LCU on Rest, all of its intrinsic elements stop providing whatever benefit they otherwise would have? For example, if I Rest an HQ unit, it's support devices no longer provide support to units at that base?

AvSupport still repairs planes (I think)
Support is still working, too
Naval support: no idea

Sounds about right.

Right lads, the rest of the unit is stood down for a few days, but the techies have to come in and work whilst everyone else is tucked up in bed

If I didn't have Josh I'd be seriously looking at trying to move to NZ and join the RNZAF.

You're kidding, right? I thought the Kiwis officially did away with anything approaching an air force a couple years ago?

You're on target, Martin. Naval Support does not work while in Rest. Longshoremen's Union and all.
