These interviews were made with RAF personnel (male and female) who were in the process of leaving the Royal Air Force. They were made over a period of 2-3 years between 2016 and 2018. The interviews provide the empirical data for a PhD thesis entitled "No longer Higher Fliers? An Exploration of Discipline, Identities and Gender Issues while Navigating out of the RAF". The interviews constitute a longitudinal study that explored the reasons personnel joined and left the Royal Air Force. The interviews were semi-structured and generated over 2,000 minutes of recorded interviews which were transcribed by the researcher.
