Not much cop for a military tyro
I guess this goes down to Dominator's point, though. If the RAF had a 2-type trg package, then EFT and UAS could quite easily be supplied by RAF Flying Clubs and Cessna Aerobats. You only need to teach your EFT/UAS students (tyros) roughly the PPL syllabus before you send them to Tucano or PC-9 - the Aerobat or maybe 2160 Robin/Citabria/T67 would be perfect and cheap (you could add a few hours of aeros as an intro).
Don't forget there are many of us who climbed into JPs at CF or LOO with just a PPL under our belts. Next was Hawks at Valley followed by more Hawks at TWU before OCU. So in principle, I think Dominator is right. Big savings to be had too in equipment and manpower...
