I don't think you should give up just yet. There's a Group Captain doc at Peterborough Hospital (can't remember his name, Trevor 'something' - sorry) who specialises in asthma in aviation and I believe he even flies himself. It seems there's to be a change re the 'rules' for athsma, and what counts regarding childhood (mis)diagnosis. It might be worth seeking a private appt if RAF aircrew life is your goal.
