Regle's reply to your question about choices under the Arnold scheme, was very similar to pilots courses in the UK. The only choice we were offered was to volunteer to be trained as instructors. This was an appeal from the CFI to the assembled course in a classroom. No one volunteered. Whether any one volunteered later I do not know, but most of the course went directly to Bomber Command OTUs. I did meet one man, aged about 30, who was posted to fly Ansons at a Navigation School, and another who went to Half Penny Green to train Army Glider Pilots on Hotspurs. The RAF pilots were given
Hawker Harts to keep up their power flying skills.
We could do with some reminiscences of those trained in Rhodesia.
