I was a bit confused about the length of time they were said to have waited to fly the Hawk, but didn't most of them seem to already have their 'wings' and I took it that they were transferring over from some other type, to fly FJ (like 'Danners' was ex-helicopters). That might explain some of the more informal cockpit chat if both were already serving pilots?
I got a bit confused about who was flying for which service (and I can't even rely on a beard to tell)
