Spot on - totally endorse the common sense approach.

Integrity is clearly an issue for RAF Officers. However, if the symptoms you describe are accurate, you are shooting yourself in the foot by even mentioning it. As a child, I got moderate hayfever and my Dad suffered pretty badly from asthma. I probably had v mild susceptibility to asthma which continued into adult life (NB however never had to use an inhaler until induced by dust living in v dusty house as an adult one time). Never told any RAF doctor, flew 6 years on the front-line and 3 years on the Reds - no snags!
