The RAF wouldn't do that because all of their expensive hardware would end up crashed.
Funnily enough I once met an ex-RAF pilot with several hundred hours who had very rudimentary navigational skills... He'd spent a lot of time instructing in the local area, and was used to following vectors from ATC. I got the impression that he was good at not-crashing though.
