Research and Planning: Primary Research

Leaflets and other information

These are still images of leaflets, posters and forms.











RAF office
We contacted the Liverpool RAF careers office during the week, in order to ask if we could set up an interview with an officer or RAF spokesperson about flying or driving within the air force. We rang a few more times because we had not heard anything for several days. The office gave us details of an officer named Jack Russel.



We decided to use the email address provided so that we could clearly explain what our request was, the ideas and reasoning behind wanting the interview. We gave a contact number and email so that we could be contacted whenever. As a group we decided to give the potential interviewee choice of the time of the interview to suit them because, as we explained, we are keen to travel to the office in our own time or in frees periods and lunchtimes during school. The image below shows the email we sent.
(Email to the RAF officer)

Due to our short time scale to film, we decided to use the extension number given after another couple of days to see if the officer was available to speak to. He explained that he hadn't yet replied because he has to have permission from the RAF to continue with the interview. We are now awaiting a call on Monday 18th October.
