Sadly the UAS world which Jackonicko remembers is now gone for ever thanks to the bean counters. 90 hours in 3 years (all of which is assessed) is all that youngsters can now look forward to - and that only if they're accepted by the RAF for a 3rd year.

And we thought that we were hard done by in the 70s when we heard tales of UAS students flying Harvards, Piston Provosts and Ansons during their time years earlier.........
