I know it's been said, quoted and rewritten...... however, well said Yeovil.
I am sure, somewhere out there, there really ARE some BA pilots who might just have struggled through military flying training - but nothing like as many as they would like to think. What they might have learned, however, is that considering yourself to be special just because you have passed a Hamble or Prestwick spoonfeeding course is really not very special at all.
To those of us who have been awarded a pair of proper wings, (Gold on your sleeve being best, of course), by HM instructors whose continued employment contract does not depend on the pass ratio and profit factor etc etc, a little pat on the back - we really don't NEED to continually tell everyone how special we are; listening to and watching the standard BA product in action makes us doubly aware of it!
Fly Navy, Dig Army, Eat Crabs.......
