Everybody should get the chance to fly during RAF training - it might just remind them of what the RAF is about! (These days I should probably call it "core business").
Some years ago I was talking to a Navy mate who was on exchange at Cranwell - he was amazed that flying was not an ESSENTIAL part of IOT. "Nobody would EVER be commissioned in the RN without having been to sea - even if it was only a day trip".
A lesson to be learned.......?
