OOh! How I would love to talk.................. I effectively work for the RAF and only last week we had a meeting with a Senior RAF guy, really nice bloke, very open, honest and probably frustrated, it was a private meeting about a few issues so I won't say too much except my opinion of what was discussed openly afterwards, in effect I got the impression that they are bankrupt, their outgoings will exceed their income for this financial year if nothing changes, simple, this will lead to several "less important" projects being shelved (very subjective that) This is effecting me directly now in the work we have planned for this year and as such has been somewhat of a reality check, the work we planned to do this year I have been working on for nearly two years, I am now frustrated to the point that I have decided it is time to leave, it's just a matter of timing for me. I have no doubt the RN and Army are in similar circumstances which makes it all the worse!
