Cliff
Thanks for the information; more than happy to keep asking questions but I don't want to hog the thread ... obviously as the FE did not go through the EFTS / SFTS route, my research ends at ITW and then goes through the 4 SoTT route (before converging with the EFTS/SFTS trades at HCU).
I hope that makes sense to the uninitiated!!??
RAF St Athan have got back to me today to say that they are unable to provide a copy of the syllabus for 4 SoTT as very few records exist from that period in their history .... which I thought was sad .... so I am relying on the various forums that I subscribe to to help piece information together .. ... so thanks to you all for your contributions.
I have been provided with this link regarding "flight simulators at RAF St Athan" which you may be interested in:
