I started Nav trg at Finningley in early Sep and finished late Feb in the 2nd year - no holds or fails, so that is 18 months. Plus then I needed the Fast Jet lead in at Brawdy that was a further 4 months including groundschool, single seat sea survival and then the 14 trips or so. Total 22 months prior to starting the Tornado OCU.
My mates going through Pilot trg that I went through officer trg joined me on the Sqn about 2-4 months later.
Sorry, me old, but Nav trg in the 80s/90s for Group 1 Fast Jet was a lot longer than your chaps in the 60s.
