Keep in mind, I have very outstanding health qualifications according to my medical.
Just a word of caution - passing a medical is just a small step on the road to getting a seat in a Military aircraft. The Forces usually have you undergoing many suitability tests/exercises as part of the selection process and they are looking at parameters that simply aren't examined and aren't relevant in the the civilian world.

As others have said the RAF website and recruiting offices are indeed a great source of information. But since you say

my cousin was an ex mig pilot of the yugoslav air force which has very much inspired me to be a pilot.
Then you might want to be aware of this (if you aren't already):

Nationality and residency - RAF Careers

That said good luck, hope it all works out, whichever route you choose.
