Yorkshire - big up yerself!!! I too am from the centre of the universe!!! From what stage of application you're stating, I'm not sure what use this will be to you, but when I was applying for the RAF (took me four goes to get in) I came across the Air League who, amongst other things, "Promote Air-Mindedness in Youths". I tried to get some sponsorship from them as they offer their own Flying Scholarship - try
www.Airleague.co.uk for starters. I'd give you the snail-mail address, but it's at home and I'm nowhere near there at the mo!!! Best of luck mate - tough deal with the legs. I too am a lanky streak and just scraped it by the skin of my teeth!!!!!!!
