Forgive my naivety, but why want anyone want to join the Navy to fly anyway?
Who wants to spend years of training, to then be sent to fly a helicopter, off the back of a boat, in the middle of the ocean for months on end?
Beacause it's more challenging, by far, than flying from an airfield that does not move position whilst you are on your sortie/ that has no siginificant landmarks that can lead you back to the landing strip/ that is affected more by weather? To name but a few reasons.
Apart from the possibility of flying fast, why join the RAF to fly when you can be just as bored flying to a static airfield as a civvy - and get paid 3 times as much?
