As a non-military, non-flying member of PPrune, I've been enthralled by this thread since it's inception and continuance by the late Cliff Nemo and RegLe. I have just spent a happy few hours reading the reminiscences of our latest batch of contributors. thank you all!
It may have started as "gaining a RAF pilot's Brevet in WWII ", but all these accounts help flesh-out the storyof a life in the Forces.
It would, IMHO, be a terrible mistake to exclude these peripheral postings from the tale....keep up the good work, please!
