Cheers Pielander,

Not to sure what to do yet, I have quite a promising future as an engineer ahead, however, that bug is aways there! I am keeping a close eye on sponsorship.

I visited RNAS Yeovilton whilst in the UAS, to undertake cockpit escape dunker training which was quite a laugh
Whilst there we visited a sea harrier squadron think it was 809! not to sure. They showed us in cockpit footage from a sortie that morning of air to air combat, my god! I think it hit home to many how difficult it actually is. Hence the high standard for selection which I completely understand.

Think the only aspect of wanting to fly harriers anyway was the sound of that pegasus engine, the best noise on earth. Not really a good reason to risk my life tho!!

P.S. For those unaware, the term bagman is RN banter for Helicopter pilot,(Quote: Lt Cdr Nick Richardson RNR)
