Hard OCU s
Having done the F4 OCU, ADV OCU and a single seat fighter OCU in. Foreign language nothing but nothing was as hard as the Lightning OCU - and rightly so what with hindsight I now find upsetting is the way we were treated as students. It bore striking similarities of get some in the tv programme about national service. In fact the SAC who manned the ops desk was treated better than us. The course was based it seemed on how many cups of tea you made the staff and how to make a bacon butty. I guess with most of the staff getting divorced or having PVRd didn't help. Flying has come a long way and I'm sure today the RAF have some brilliant teachers - sadly the days of - I can do it - the aeroplane can do it - why the F**k can't you!! Seemed to rule. I could bore you all with the way Air Combat was taught but I'm sure you'd rather not hear it.
