Was, as far as front line aircraft are concerned, at his rank
WAS a freakin pilot, I'm afraid. He could have always PVR'd, like so many of his subordinates are doing right now, if he wished to remain a freakin pilot. Right now his job is Leadership, a quality that the RAF is in dire need of, which means fighting its corner against the jumped up Town Hall graduates supposedly running this benighted country. That means doing Dannatt and Walker stuff, possibly on the porch steps of Main Building, a far more dangerous and challenging arena than the cockpit of a Typhoon!
You could always club together and fund him a few Cessna hours for Christmas if he is having withdrawal symptoms
