Civilian Instructors for the RAF
MB.
In my day (Linton in 2001) we were already streamed FJ so there was no QFI lottery. My primary was an old and bold PA Flt Lt (previous FJ admittedly) and my secondary a VC-10 guy. Neither of them seem to have done me any lasting harm.
You are quite correct on your other points. It is all sadly predictable.
