Callum,
I’m afraid that I don’t know anything about RAF pilot recruitment at the moment but In addition to my own time in the RAF I have two pilot sons: One in the RAF and one in the commercial world, and their worlds are completely different. The only reason for you to join the RAF is because you are desperate to be a military officer and pilot. If you only want to be a pilot then invest in the commercial route. I advise against joining the RAF just to get free pilot training but if the RAF is your goal have you considered university and joining a UAS whilst you wait for pilot recruitment to open up. Good luck whatever you decide.
