Is that the one with the imprints of us down the side? 😀

Other than its a heck of a way from the car park for those of us getting old and infirm. It really needs that narrow guage railway set up to run shuttles all along the flightline. The IWM might even be able to tap another market if it were steam operated.

The Museum run a Courtesy Bus for visitors from Air Space up to the other side of the American Air Museum with stops in between.

Fecking sack the multitude of civilian MOD staff. They are more numerous than service personell and are getting paid far more.

In 2008 there were 85,000+ MOD civil servants and 187,000+ service personnel. By now there is even less of both and come this summer I’ll be joining the ranks of mass unemployed because of the Government cuts. That should please you then.

Why do people always pick on MOD civil servants when the MOD actually employ the least amount of civil servants compared to other Government departments.

I’ve just been reading through the March edition of the Defence Monthly Digest that is sent by e-mail to all MOD personnel.

At the bottom of page 4, for any one who has access to it, it states quite clearly that the article that appeared in the media is not true. The New Employment Model as it is called is looking at a range of measures of ways of supporting Service personnel including accomodation. it states they would ‘maintain the importance of publicly-provided accomodation as part of overall service terms and conditions’.

anyone not signed yet please do so, if you feel its not required shame on you.

Having just read the e-petition, shouldn’t it be shame on the person posting it for the bad English, grammer and spelling mistakes contained in it.

For that alone, not a petition that is going to be taken seriously by the vastly overpaid civil servants in Whitehall.

Fecking sack the multitude of civilian MOD staff. They are more numerous than service personell and are getting paid far more. That’ll save a pretty penny and let the service personell keep their well deserve MQs.

Bloody outrageous…. making my blood boil.

What makes my blood boil are non MOD civilians who think they know what they are talking about. 😡

I wish I got paid more than the Officers I work with.

Have you ever lived in an MQ.? You’ll soon change your mind if you did.

in the past when i have stood there with my tripod and argued the point on the heath n safety issues when there is hardly anyone around they counter argued saying they did not know if i was a professional photographer going to use the images for commercial gain.

I had a similar incident at Duxford quite a few years ago. The museum guy in his hi-viz coat was chatting to a couple of women and their kids and as I was setting up my tripod, he literally shouted across the hangar wanting to know if I was taking photographs for a book.

I shouted back at him to get his supervisor out here as I wasn’t going to be shouted out across a hangar by a member of staff trying to impress a couple of women with his authority.

Turned into a bit of a staring match but he backed down and he left me alone for the rest of the day.
