Mods.. Can we make this a 'Ex RAF...' post, rather than a 'Ex RAF MTD' post? MTD only serves one trade. RAF covers them all. I've tried posting a thread on ex raf only for it to be removed.

Lets hear it for us 'girls' who, by marrying a serviceman, entered into the wonderful (and on occasions not-so-wonderful) world of service life! For us the RAF was to be our life for 30 years.

Anyone who served in Aden, or who knows anyone who did, there is a great website which will bring back memories of those days at:

Although never having served in any of H.M. Armed Forces could this idea be extended to encompass the three forces with, if they so wish, sub divisions within the organisation. I think this way there would be a friendly mix of service personnel who would probably enjoy having the comradeship of fellow members of the forces.

Nice to see the ex-service turning out to share experiences.

I did just over 26 years, starting as one of "Trenchards's Brats" as an airframe apprentice. Then tours in Yorkshire, Germany, Oxford and back home to Yorkshire. I then had loads of years north of the border at Lossiemouth and Leuchars (great times!) before enjoying Germany again and finishing my time at Cottesmore in Rutland.

In between postings, I spent time in Norway, Cyprus and the obligatory Falklands (twice!) and can honestly say that I hardly regretted a day of it all. Happy days.
