Danger

I was interested to see in the programme that there was a "creamie", that is (as I'm sure most of you aircrew types know) someone who is streamed directly from FJ training to go back as an instructor.

How often does this happen? I would never had thought that the RAF would do this, and particularly not on FJ training. I would think they would at least do 1 tour on a front line Sqn, and then perhaps be fast tracked to become an instructor, but to go directly from training ...???

What ever happened to instructors having experience and passing it onto the students?
