On my Ternhill (Piston Provost) and Swinderby (Vampire) Course in 1955-57 we had 11 Regular and 8 National Service U/T Pilots. Three of the N.S. students were University Graduates (2 Chartered Accountants and 1 Solicitor) The other five joined straight from school and left the RAF after the wings parade to join BEA or BOAC.
