The scene, an RAF airfield in the midlands, a crew of student and QFI climb out of a Bulldog. Time, more than 10 years ago, but since the Bulldog was introduced.
Dramatis Personae: A young Genghis, an elderly RAF QFI
Walking back to the squadron buildings, the following conversation took place...
"Mr *****, that is the end of your flying training"
"I beg your pardon sir?"
"You can't fly, I'm stopping your training, we'll have you off the squadron this afternoon".
And he did, as well as out of the RAFVR in about the same timescale.
Fortunately I subsequently proved him wrong by doing military test flying as a civilian FTE, and civilian test flying as a CAA approved FTE and later test pilot. But that particular QFI get's my vote.
If anybody thinks they may have flown with him, his nickname had something to do with alcohol withdrawal symptoms, and he was noticeable by his remarkable bushy eyebrows. At the time I flew with ??UAS, his student choprate was around 90%.
