FS Hoath,
silver tongued charmer....
Actually, I'm pretty sure he was a Sgt when my course arrived, and was promoted to FS before we got onto the main course 2 months later.
Didn't really have a great deal to do with the chap, other than a spot of drill now and then. (Pete?) Shepherd as Flt Cdr was a nice chap, there was an ex ranker Sqn Ldr Education officer ... (whose name now escapes me, Tom?) ... who was a good guy, very few people to actively dislike although there weren't that many I felt like sending Christmas cards to in subsequent years <g>
There were a small number of large egos, however, to ignore as best you could...it's probably the same in all training setups, and no different to life when you get to the sqn anyhow.
