There is something about them - possibly the smell of cordite in the morning?!
1967 RAFC North Airfield:

Solo at Fulbeck
Flt Lt Al Thomas had me and K B...l as studes - me 5ft nothing, KB 6ft plus a lot (parade marker?)
"you my son might as well not be there, with KB I can see f all and just hope he gets it right"
Seem to recall that those with an RAF scholarship (i.e. had a civie ppl) just did 11 or so chippie hours, whilst the lucky guys had a lot more?
GCA into V Force Waddo was done to test the patience of ATC.
