    Payroll hack

    The announcement of this data leak coincides with a flurry of spam WhatsApp messages hitting my phone. I've never experienced this with WhatsApp before but it may be just a coincidence. If a letter drops at my house, I'll mention it.

    Wisdom teeth.

    I honestly can't remember why mine had to come out but I do remember being told I was being sent to Wroughton to have it done under general anaesthetic. I remember being in the hospital though, for other reasons alone. Whilst I was in the recovery ward, I was able to pop upstairs to another...

    Wisdom teeth.

    Just a question following a trip to the dentist today. I was asked if the lack of wisdom teeth was down to problems with them in my younger days. My answer was that the RAF had them compulsorily removed.(Possibly) I seem to remember a ward full of fellow victims at RAF Wroughton hospital...

    Payroll hack

    Can the hackers tweak everything to make it all tax free? Cost of Living etc!

    Anyone had a letter from mobilisation?

    A letter addressed to a house that doesn't exist, in a street that doesn't exist, somehow (as luck would have it) found it's way into your hands fourteen years after the RAF forgot about you? Is it possible that you've found yourself on the receiving end of a workplace prank? And if you have...

    Anyone had a letter from mobilisation?

    I wonder how many people are now regretting applying for a veteran's ID card....

    Iron Dome for the UK?

    Even if this thing became a thing, with the state of procurement, we'd order an Iron Dome and end up with a Tin Pot.

    Iron Dome for the UK?

    Plenty of chatter in the press about the implementation of an Israel style Iron Dome for the UK. Political gimmickery or is there a genuine need? https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/iron-dome-missile-defence-uk-defence-spending/

    Welsh speed limit

    Common sense appears to be making a comeback in Wales now that the socialist who was in charge has gone. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-68838440

    Shader aircraft shoot down Iranian drones

    The Russians? Didn't you know about the successful "Peace Dividend"? Options for Change anyone? As for Iran, at least they don't have nukes....yet.

    Shader aircraft shoot down Iranian drones

    As the middle eastern situation evolves, the RAF finds itself in the action. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68810774

    Army beards

    Just my opinion, nothing more! I did make that expressly clear and others can disagree as they wish as you have done. My lad served and had a beard because he couldn't be bothered with shaving. His preference and within the rules but do you think that made me think he was a bad Airman for...

    Army beards

    Does anyone remember the days where not being able to shave (skin issues) led to medical downgrade and subsequent loss of promotion? I think the only person I ever knew (of) who had a full beard was Elmer Fudd at Wittering. As for the Army, I think it's a backwards step considering their modes...

    TG1 Retention again

    In defence of MWD, he was worth his weight in gold whilst serving and you have to be forgiving to a certain degree that the environment he's now in (happily doing his thing) is far removed from aviation and aerospace. Unless you're in it, the knowledge of aerospace will always skirt around...

    TG1 Retention again

    You're making a lot of wild assumptions about how aerospace works, but you can be forgiven for that as it's not within your realm of expertise. An aerospace degree can be useful in manufacturing and design however the spectrum of application is way to vast to be adequately summed up in a few...
