Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the replies. I found them very useful!!
The military does seem the best option. It seems like a brilliant way to learn to fly helicopters with some very interesting flying.
Unfortunately the UAS don't recruit people in the penultimate year of their degree. I have been 'on the books', so to speak of an armed force since sixth form at school and have had a few informal interviews with them. Perhaps it is time to take it to the next stage.
Any advice from mil/ex-mil rotorheads on how to boost my chances in the selection procedure would be very warmly received.
Thanks again guys,
Quarto
