No doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but there cannot be any way that he has fully "earned" his wings after spending 4 months seconded to the RAF. Surely he's going to have to go back and do the full Tucano course, then the full rotary course, picking up his wings "proper" along the way, then the full SAR course? All in 18 months? He cannot be let loose on an operational unit without meeting the required standards at every stage of the prescribed training - can he?
And another thing - wonder if he'll still be photographed stumbling out of that crappy club in Mayfair at 4am on a Tuesday morning quite so frequently? Didn't seem to matter much to the Army . . .
