Yorkshire lad, maybe you might be able to give me a little bit of information.
I'm a bit like you, graduate always wanted to be a pilot and passed RAF selection but am 6ft 5 so no Tucanos for me! I was going to pursue commercial flying but the poor job prospects big debts etc have put me off and I decided to go back to the RAF but obviously not as a pilot. I had heard about the chance of being a Navy helicopter pilot (assuming that's what you're doing) and wondered if it was possible given the height issue. I think i'm right in saying the Navy use Cranwell to select pilots so I assumed the same barriers would block my way.
Cheers.
