nah..got turned down for H M shilling if that's what you mean..if not then the Glen Stewart affair was an assistant controller at Norwich iirc in the 60s and a part time assistant instructor for a flying club run by a bent scrap metal merchant who defrauded the club members. As far as instructing ability goes he was useless which went hand in hand with his aviation career prospects. The other AsCat at the club ended up as a training capt on heavies ..guy only got two O levels at school..art and english.
which by implication shows the standard the board of trade set itself in recruitment.
