Hi TH
I will ask him and post his reply.
As a comparison I did 158hrs (all day) in the Chipmunk over 4 years at University. This included about 60hrs solo as once you had reached PFB standard you tended to be given an aircraft and told to enjoy yourself doing an hours GH etc. At Cranwell I flew 160hrs on the JP5A.
It seems that flying hours on basic and advanced trainers haven't changed much over the years.
I then went to Ternhill to learn the magic art of flying helicopters doing 94hrs on the Whirlwind. Then followed 38hrs on the Wessex 2 before arriving on my 1st squadron in Germany the start of 34yrs of productive helicopter flying
