S283, you will be going to Dartmouth to conduct officer training not pilot officer training! Concur the sentiments expressed above - what exactly do you want? If it's free flying training you will get found out PDQ and you will struggle, especially when stuck on dartmoor with the biffs, cold, wet, hungry, tired, pissed off etc. It won't seem that glamourous then! If - If you make it through you will then be stuck on one of Her Majesty's finest greys trying to muster the Naffi spirits, write up your division, fend off sh*te from the jimmy and oh then worry about going flying. I suggest that you find out what is really involved by going to a POC and speaking to some that are already there. Even sitting in a shiny commercial jet ain't all that it's cracked up to be -especially since last year.
Good luck whatever you do though
PS and judging by the way President Tony is going you'll get your backside shot down before you even sit your ATPL exams!
