It's interesting that one of the students (I think there may have been 4 of them ?) on the very first Hawk course at RAF Valley (probably 1977 ?) is still taking the Queen's shilling as the Hawk T1 is about to end it's service. Having flown the Canberra, Hawk T1 (as a QFI) and the Tonka he swapped uniform to fly the 747 with Virgin. He subsequently came back into the fold as a Tutor man with both 5AEF and CUAS QFI at Wittering. Good old Tim, just as smiley as he ever was !
