Pielander,
I joined at 25.11.5, and was told by my Bulldog QFI that he thought I had FJ skill, but that my age would mean no chance.
Maybe he was just being nice to me, but whichever way, I am just so glad that things panned out as they did, and I spent my time as a jungly.
Finest flying known to man, and the best bunch of blokes to work with.
