Germany and the Netherlands used to run courses for their new pilots who had returned from the US to acclimatise to European weather conditons, airspace and the general way of doing things before they started OCU training. The Germans used Alpha Jets and I think the Dutch did a short course on the F-5.
By the way, is there still any RAF involvement at the Canadian NATO school?
