teeters old bean,
I'm with you. I learnt to fly with the AAC (Bell 47 for heavens sake) and finished up with the RAF. Spot 4 has several good points but overall you got it right........
Tri-Service training was initially a 'cost saving' exercise. Wrong from the start, wrong today. Tri-Service works well in the field, but not at Ab-Initio.....
Standing by to be poo-poooed.......
