Thanks to everyone that has added to this topic, especially Nick Mahon. I still remember the day in school when the teatcher held up these circles with different colour dots on. Most of my class mates saw the number 5 and I saw the number 9. My friends thought this was quite funny as all I have ever wanted to do was become a pilot. However I still joined the ATC and decided a flying schol was an excellent idea so off I went to cranwell. The optitian took out the book and I proceded to fail. He muttered under his breath that " theres another one that wont fly" however he set up the Latern test for me and I was told I was CP3 but due to the Eurofighter coming into service the RAF had raised their requirement to CP2 and I wouldent be able to join. I was understandably gutted, but I decided that if I could get paid a lot better and still fly around the world that becoming a commercial pilot would be fantastic! I have tried to find out if I would be ok to fly commercially but this is the fist place that I have found any substantial assistance. Thanks.
