ES, Thanks, That's why I asked the question; I did think it might have changed back again but Baston said it never had changed. I was a few courses behind number 15 and we were very disappointed to be told we now had to wait until after AFTS. I eventually gained my flying badge in 1979 (and kept it).
Guess why the system was all changed in 1976? Too many students were being subsequently chopped at Valley! What goes around, etc.
But what fast jet training is now done at Linton?
