jacketp - if your aircraft recognition is really so weak, how can you possibly have sufficient passion for aviation to becom ea military pilot?

These days the RAF has very few aircraft types indeed. Whereas once there were a couple of dozen or more types, now there are a mere handful or so. And if you can't even tell a Tornado from a Harrier.... What about Nimrod and VC10, TriStar and C-17. What is the main difference between a Herc J and a Herc K?

Perhaps you haven't found the RAF website yet? The one which gives information about each aircraft type currently operated? It's at www.... no, on second thoughts, use your own initiative, it isn't hard.
