Can you hour build in a Grob 109B (Vigilant T1)?

Hi all,

Apologies if this in the wrong forum and I have tried searching for the answer, but to no avail.

I'm a CI in the Air Training Corps and I have spoken to the CFI at my nearest VGS about becoming an instructor on the Vigilant (Grob 109B).

I have a PPL + Night Rating + Complex and was wondering whether I would be able to count any of the time flown in the Vigilant in order to build my hours to start my CPL? If that is possible, would the fact that it is RAF not Civil flying make any difference? - Hour building is not my sole aim of wanting to join a VGS, it'd just be a nice bonus!

I understand I will need a TMG rating, which I assume I will get via the training should I be accepted on to the Squadron?

I won't be starting my CPL for a time yet as I don't have the funds available, so I am hoping to join the VGS to have some fun!

I look forward to your replies and thanks in advance
