May I suggest that you make contact with the Senior Air Traffic Control Officer (SATCO) of your nearest operational RAF station and ask to be allowed to visit. It would serve 2 purposes: 1. To see what Air Traffic in a 'blue suit' is like, and 2. To speak with those Air Traffic Controllers (ATCO) who have recently been through the system and hear their views. You will get a better appreciation of what RAF ATC involves.
Best wishes for your endeavours
