Redundant!
Her Majesty’s government apparently spent enormous amounts of money training people like myself to be at the frontline with our skills to keep the red hordes from our shores by maintaining the strike aircraft. The aircraft and us would be deployed to the Fleet Air Arm carrier fleet.
Then the geniuses in government realised there were too many personnel and not enough ships so decided that myself and around 28,000 others were to be made redundant.
My last railway warrant saw me travelling from my last base in the north of Scotland to the main naval base on the south coast of England to be discharged in to civvy street.
Another adventure begins, where would we live, what would I do for a living and me still in my early twenties with a family!
