Something developing in the thread recently seems to highlight the fact that the Royal Air Force certainly had an ethos of continuation and development training, despite wartime restrictions. Something of a surprise to me, as I always believed that people were thrown in to operational flying with minimal qualifying experience. Once again, for some of us lesser mortals, some new territory is opening and linking past with current practice. I'm sure there's much more to come, keep going chaps.
