RAF general qualifications

Hello.

I'm planning on joing the RAF in a few years (like many on this forum), and I'd like to know your opinion on what the RAF is looking for.

Because I live in a very small town in Spain, I haven't been to Air Cadets or scouts and I haven't been able to be very active in sport teams (I compete with the local athletics team, Ive done a couple years of Taekwondo,...), and I've had a couple of part time jobs here and there during my A levels.

I'm going to do a physics degree back in England, and i'll join the University Air Training Squadron. I'll do as many sports as possible.

How much would speaking fluent Spanish help me joining the RAF?
Would Uni and Uni Air Sqd cover up the qualifications I've lost by not going to ATC?
Would having a lot of Flight Simulator experiance be a good thing to mention to the RAF?
Any other general hints for the interview?

Thanks. (P.S: Ive recently sent a similar topic, but I think there was an error, so if both topics are now around; I do apologize)
