Just reading the following website:
http://www.aircadets.org/
And under the news section, For the recent IOT grads, ive noticed a few are listed as "commencing flying training with the BBMF"
Now are the BBMF doing EFT or have these guys got their gen wrong???

Not 100% sure, correct me if im wrong, but i think they will probably just tag along with the BBMF flight as their holding squadron whilst they wait for a gap at EFT that they can fill. With the sods maybe lucky enough to get a flight or two...

Not sure IOT would have prepared them for that.
Maybe they should add another 20 weeks.
