<<Where abouts are you from?>> UK RAF
<<Is there more demand for helicopter pilots than there is for fixed wing then? >> No idea.
<<I'm guessing one would have an advantage by understanding or speaking languages as well as English?>> Not sure. English is the international language of the air and you should not use any foreign language skills in the air, that said . . .
<<Do you know whether there are any advantages or disadvantages in joining the Australian forces rather than the U.K?>> No idea. I would not have thought so. It really depends on what is on offer and all the cultural and social things. Certainly there seems a steady demand from NZ and also a flow from NZ to UK.
<<What type of plane do you fly?>> Nothing now as I am a bit too old but Bombers, Maritime, AEW, Trainers as a navigator.
