Probably giving the game away here but why not consider the Fleet Air Arm? In terms of flying hours available they at least compete with the RAF. As an RN officer you will have other duties such as division of Matelot's to look after but hey, thats what being an officer is all about. As for the RAF flying being better, well thats just c**p. Admittedly if all you want to do is fly jets then go light blue but ask any Junglie pilot if he/she thinks their job is dull when it comes to flying and you will get some pretty abrupt answers! As for holdovers, they are near non-existent in the pipeline now. Finally lets face it, the uniform is by far the flashiest of the three services, and ALL the women love it!!!
