FAA flight training 1960s question..
What would be the expected aircraft types flown by prospective Fleet Air Arm pilots around, say 1965 or so? Ab initio in Chipmunks I would guess, and advanced/basic jet training in Vampires.. but how was e.g. deck landing training handled? Did the Vampire have a hook? Or was it just a case of read the notes, hop in the Sea Vixen/Buccaneer and do your best not to kill yourself or anyone else?
