Judging by the vintage of aircraft being put forward it is obvious that the current trainers in the RAF are appallingly dull.
Rotary perspective.
Indeed; the Sq is reliable, safe and cheap.....and does not have nasty handling characteristics which kill poor unfortunate studes.....how boring.
We do all the horrible stuff on Cold War helicopters in the desert now......lets leave the nasty stuff till later......dull is good by me!
