Is it possible that he did get onto Hawks but got chopped and is slightly embarrassed to admit that? And/or that he has 'overlooked' that point as he has gone forward in his career since then?
Let's face it, 'I served in the RAF and flew Hawks' could be technically true and looks far better on a CV, than 'I tried to be a pilot but got binned'. Who here doesn't try to make their CV/career look and sound as good as possible, accentuating the positives without actually telling lies?
Or he could be walting, pure and simple.
