Yes, true! When I was going through the CFS Bulldog QFI course one of the chaps on the course ahead graduated as a B1. A few years later, having returned to take up a staff position on the CFS Bulldog Sqn, I recall at least one of the new Bulldog QFIs graduating as a B1. Can remember the names of both chaps too, of whom one, sadly, died in a flying accident.
