I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Interesting

but also Maths and Physics would be involved at A level grade.

Obviously it wouldn't be the same as A levels
It is or it isn't. What exactly does it give you?

would it qualify for a WSOp trade.
Simple really. What does WSOp require? What does your non-A-level course give? Which is more stringent?

So what do you guys think? Would it be worth while.
ask the professionals. Go to the AFCO. Say your are doing XYZ; will that meet the criteria for ABC?

mechanical engineering course has always interested me so would it be worth it?
So why do you want to be aircrew, possibly kicking troops in and out of the aircraft when a job as an engineer would get you oil on your hand? [hint - interview question]
