Bismark,

“Little known fact?”

“FAA will provide 25% of UK FJ pilots?”

WHAT are you on man?

25%? To man 2 relatively small FJ squadrons that will not even be 100% RN manned as opposed to at least 12 pure RAF FJ units plus another two with a small RN complement embedded not including OCU/OEU 100 Sqn the Reds etc etc etc……

On top of all this the small RN fixed wing element will be located on RAF stations under the command and control of Royal Air Force Strike Command.

If you want to fly FJ;

Join the Royal Air Force or the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Air Force.
