Colour Blindness

Hey guys,

Unfortunately I am red/green colour blind (yes, that old chestnut), but successfully took the Lantern test at Gatwick a year or so ago and as such can qualify for my Class 1 medical.
I know the RAF/RN/Army aircrew literature states normal colour vision (tested by the Ishihara plates) as a requirement, but is there any way around this requirement with this lantern test pass? Anybody ever managed it?

Cheers

Eoin
