I thought it was a good programme overall (remembering that it is aimed at the general public and not us!) and look forward to the remainder. We had a very different lifestyle in my day but I would suggest that todays RAF pilots are just as competent as we were and just as dedicated! I personally sympathise with them on the current length of training, but that is hardly their fault! Times change but it is my guess that the guys and girls are just as keen and competent as we were and will give all they can to their chosen career. Let us move on, I have had a great flying career and just hope the present incumbents are lucky enough to have the same!
