RN Aircrew
Hi troops,
MY son is interested in flying in the RN, preferably fixed wing fast stuff but also very interested in rotary.
The reason he chose the RN is owing to a good job by the guys at the London Air Show and of course, the RAF isn't recruiting to the same level.
In any case, he's 16, doing his GCSEs and expecting good grades in all (except RE!) and is off to study A Levels in Maths, Computer Science, History and Music Science in September.
He's looking to register on the RN Flying Start scheme asap.
He is very independent and not a mammy's boy by any stretch of the imagination so moving from home won't be a problem.
He's done some light aircraft flying and throughly enjoys it and now that I'm moving back to Swansea he will probably complete his PPL this summer. I'm also hoping to get him a jolly in a Hunter or a Provost this summer (subject to exam results of course!!!)
Any advice from any of you learned chaps and chappeses out there?
Cheers,
