Answer 1

could always try Westlands in Yeovil - they`ll welcome ex-FAA guys with open arms.....

Answer 2

Ah, a Wafoo!

I was in the FAA for 10 years, I would advise you to move to an area near a major airport when discharged. Sorry to say, there are not very many aircraft jobs going round right now.

If you could apply to BAE, BA, Virgin, Easy Jet and the others you could be in luck, the other thing to try is to look in the Sun on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the aircraft contracting jobs.

The big money is to be made if you get an A & C licence, that takes time and a steady job. Good luck!
