Why? Was the pilot the Sqn Cdr or some other wheel, or what?
I worked with him when he was on the OEU as a Flt Lt and when I bumped into him again a couple of years later, was surprised he hadn't been picked up in rank. His reply was to relate that incident - and that's why he hadn't been.
Haven't seen him for a while so no idea as to his latest status.
The girls did a lot better than the chaps (on average) in their nav aptitude tests apparently; and much worse than the chaps (on average) for pilot.
