"To aid recruiting I'd dedicate a Puma (or other helicopter but the Puma is the perfect size) to fly to 3 or 4 high schools every school day and give a short talk on the Air Force and fly the top physics pupils on a short hop."

Apart from the difficulties of getting to many schools the teachers would almost certainly throw a wobbly - they reckon there isn't enough time in the day to teach the syllabus as it is without adding fripperies such as games and free helicopter rides.................. and of course what do you say if some bright spark who has checked the Internet asks you how long she/he'll have to wait to become a fast jet pilot?
