thanks for the animated responses.
As for BA if you want to start a collection for me, feel free. It could aid me in my pursuit of 75k to fund an integrated ATPL course (
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!) Perhaps if I had that I may have a shot at the commercial side.
Banter aside I was interesting in talking first to a current WSO or Observer to gauge their opinion on the career, training for that trade from a first hand perspective etc etc.
Obviously the F3 will be out of service but as of December 12th 2009 the RAF are still streaming 20 FJ WSO's per year. Surely the GR4 will not be retired before 2016-2017 and with it also making up the mainstay of the forces combat aircraft there may still be a couple of years left of WSO FJ.
