The Air Training Corps is great when applying to the Royal Air Force, after speaking with Air cmdr Moulds (The OIC of the ATC) the RAF are now looking at people who have been in the ATC as potential recruits because it's proven that they do better in training than those who have not been a member.
You might not be able to become a cadet but atleast a civvie instructor which will then make you an adult sargeant over time will help you a lot!
You will get regular time in the air in the Grob Tutor normally about 30 mins every 2-3 months which is something, regular visits to RAF Stations and you need to know about the RAF when you apply i.e. the history and modern information which you will learn about in the ATC.
It's true! It's the one thing I can advise!
Don't let anyone tell you to ignore me.
