I remember Aer Lingus sending us a sponsored cadet down to Jerez who was turning 17 on the day his course started. I had stopped instructing and joined an airline by the time he was due to graduate but I think he was going to be something like 18yrs and one month when he was due to complete his CPL/IR Frzn ATPL course.
Lets face it - we has teenagers in Spitfires in the Battle of Britain.
