Thought I would add this as a hark back to the good old days. I have just cleared out the loft and disposed of 40 years worth of aircraft magazines, Aircraft Illustrated, Air Pictorial etc, and had a read through some. It was interesting to see the then adverts 67/68 for join the RAF and fly the new VC10 and also for the Royal Navy to Fly there new Phantom fighter aircraft. Both stated that on graduation as a pilot you too could be earning £2730. WOW how the times have changed.
Sorry, don't answer the question but don't it just make you wish you were back in them days
