No, I'm not leaving UKAPS.. ('Shame', some of you are probably thinking!)
It was my last day in my current job today. I've been there for almost 4 years and have got to know the guys I work with really well.
When I said my goodbyes today I could hardly keep it together! Emotional times, that I've never experienced before when changing jobs.
Has anyone else had similar experiences? I thought I was pretty 'tough' but I guess not so!
Here's a photo of the leaving present the guys made me from scratch, using old bits and bobs. I'm really happy with it, especially as the guys work on these things in their own time.
It's a model of a CBLS 200 (Carrier Bomb Light Stores) that holds four practice bombs. The CBLS sits under the aircraft wing. The practice bombs simulate the flight characteristics of 1,000lb freefall bombs in different roles. They're not used so much these days, as PGM (precision guided munitions) are more accurate with (hopefully) less collateral damage.
