I believe he has just done the Elementary flying traing school part of flying training, with a bit of flying in fast jets, helos, and transport a/c for experience. He is an Army officer witht the Blues and Royals, so this is just an exchange year for him. Best of luck to him in all he does ... as some above me have said, same to the other lads( and lassies) deploying to foreign lands.
