Your plan is a good one, although you are unlikely to be allowed to slap in a sneaky application before anyone else! In any case, selection for joining is by interview, not by application. Your previous failure at OASC is no bar to joining a UAS, and UAS experience will help you enormously in any future attemt to join the RAF.
To you others, UAS isn't for everyone. It certainly is not just a swept-up flying club, but a serious effort to educate people in the lifestyle of the RAF. There is a greater emphasis on recruiting for the Service than there used to be, but it isn't the be-all and end-all. However, if you have no interest in the military way of life, you won't be welcome and you will probably be 'found out', even if you bluff your way through the interview. No one likes to be taken for a ride, especially by arrogant idiots like one or two who have posted here.
And above all, as an ex-CFI I can categorically state that Yorkshire UAS is by far and away the best of all. Between 1987-91 we were never outdrunk and rarely outflown (and then only by those who'd wimped out of the drinking!). Not, of course, that alchohol plays a major part in a UAS's life. Oh, no.
