Carl Austin-Behan remembers being dismissed from the RAF like it was just yesterday.
In 1997, he was hauled in front of a commanding officer and RAF police, who proceeded to ask him if he had, in his words, «homosexual tendencies».
Up until this point, Dr Carl Austin-Behan‘s military career had been «brilliant» he said – among his personal highlights are serving abroad and making the Queen’s honours list.
«I’d just got my promotion, I was about to sign up for 22 years and just because of my sexuality, I was kicked out», he told ITV News.
At the age of 24, his military career was taken away from him.
