Its All Over

legendswraith · May 23, 2005

For those that know about my argument with my employers (the RAF) i have now decided to leave the service, i have found after the trouble they have put me through i really don't want to be a part of them anymore. So if anyone needs a good gas turbine/aero engineer i'm your man :D. Also if anyone knows any good sites to search for aviation, aero engine or anything that uses a gas turbine engine jobs wise any pointers would be gratefully accepted. I have tried aviationjobsearch already by the way (i also am a qualified cnc/vmc machinist and production engineer lathe mill etc :winky: just in case anyone needs one)

cheers

Check out flight international mate - www.flightinternational.co.uk

I was made redundant from the RAF a few years ago along with the whole flight simulation trade so we were all looking for jobs at the same time so you should be OK on your own. I did the AMRAF computer coursefor resettlement which was cool as you got a PC out of it and some knowledge of PC's but i'm not sure if it's still going..

BAE are always looking for engine guys out in Saudi (gooood money) , but that's not for everyone. If you want to know more about it let me know I just spent a few years over there in Dhahran (Tornado).

Sorry to hear about your situation but to be honest I think the only thing you'll miss about the RAF is the lads. Good luck though.

no never been to colt only ever been on the old carbon fibre death providers :D and beside the only way jags get off the ground is the curvature of the earth isn't it :P

I agree with you about missing the lads ADZ its a different world really and unless you have been there you won't know what its like just hope that i can take the attitude with me to wherever i go. As for BAe they have taken over where i am now and they just do airframes really not engines i do have an eye on the rolls royce reps job though i can quite easily swan about in a suit all day not getting grubby
