As this seems to have become a "What MY Flying Training was like" thread, thought I'd add my four pennorth (from July '68 - May '70):

Chipmunk 60 hrs (more than usual - an "experimental" course)
JP (Mk 4 ONLY!) 141 hrs (more "experiment" Chipmunk to Mk 4 was "challenging!")
Wings
Sioux 44 hrs
Whirlwind 58 hrs
Wessex Conversion 29 hrs

So Wings after about 200 hrs, onto 1st Squadron with about 330 total - but split between 5 types!!
