    Sick Armourers.

    DU was the material used for the Elevator Counterbalance on Herc Mk3s (unsure about Snoopy or the Js) Mk1s used lead. Only found out when I was working in the area during my time on AES and a Rodney turned up with a Geiger counter!

    PVR & Leave

    A serious question for the Shineys; what is the policy on PVR and Leave, i.e. if I put in my PVR on 02 Apr do I get the full leave entitlement for the following year, or do I just get the six months worth for my notice served? Any guidance or the answer gratefully received.

    Dodgy shopping website?

    It's not very often I post on here, but I am in need of advice. Has anyone used a website called professionalschoise.com? No, that's not a spelling mistake, it just seems a bit...........dodgy. If anyone can offer help or knows how to identify scam websites, can they let me know please? Oh, by...

    Multiskilling Courses

    Blue suits seem to fix everything away from Wiltshire except for airframe repairs, that seems to be done by R & SS or they limp the frame home and give it to the civvies as happened with one home from the 'ghan recently with a knackered underbelly from extreme rough strip landings. This place...

    Multiskilling Courses

    WTF are they teaching mongaloid sooties airframe repair for? The last time I did airframe repairs I was on a structures repair team, as the majority of riggers have never touched a file outside of Halton/Cosford and here at the rapidly decomposing Wilts Transport Base the only people who get...

    Medical care in the RAF.

    Last time I was really ill there was no way I was travelling to work just for a Brufen (I live 50 miles away) I ended up going to the local casualty to see a doc there, then my wife faxed the sicknote to work for me, this kept my boss happy and I was off for a week. Maybe someone knows the...

    Top Notch Bosses

    Like most people I've had good bosses, bad bosses and ones that just grey into the background, here's the best and worst: Worst, a certain SENGO at Lyneham, didn't know anyone on his Sqn and when I went in to ask him to sign the form for my tapes (that my JENGESS had given me permission to...

    Adopt a Detatchee

    I think it's very sad that you've had this experience, I've only just come back from the Falklands too, my very small section back at Lyneham, did everything they could, my line manager was an absolute star, for me and my wife, maybe because he'd only just got back from there himself. Not only...

    Decent pay rise in 2007?

    They already are better equipped than us and their accommodation is far superior to ours. :PDT_Xtremez_08:

    The Lottery

    I don't think they'd bother with PVR times, the painter at Lyneham that won £4 mill was out in about ten days if I remember rightly, just enough time to do the paperwork. Hell there'd be a blur and me 1250 thrown in the old car pass bin. Byeee!

    Saddam is dead

    I know he's not in the same league? Sorry, at a complete opposite end of the political spectrum as Nelson Mandella, but he still would/will have followers that will fight his cause just as vehemently, good riddance I say say! Yes there will be fighters for his martyrdom, but I hope not as many...
