Str12 - there's very little on your post that's true, as it happens.

I believe the pass mark in the Flying Aptitude Tests for RN is higher than RAF (RAF 80 percentile, RN 90 percentile) so you need to do better in the FATs.
Mostly wrong, except that the Navy is only taking applicants who score above 130 for pilot, though the pass is 112. 112 gets you to AIB, but it does not get you to BRNC.

The RAF has fast jets (the RN doesn’t anymore)
Guess all those RN guys at Naval Strike Wing at Cottesmore were in fact RAF guys wearing RN uniform the day I was there last month, just to fool me.

you are low on fuel and there's an enemy sub in the area so no radio / radar / lights and the ship is damaged and has changed course. And, once onboard you have to carry on fighting the ship
You'll go to your pit and get some sleep ready for the next launch
