Remember my JP5 course at Linton - one of the studes was a chap who had broken his leg going round an assault course and had been recoursed by over a year. This particular chap was a green shield Flt Lt and had already been awarded his wings (they were awarded after the basic 100 hrs JP3 course when he went through) while the rest of us suffered from the recent change to the award of wings after valley. This senior student's instructor was a creamie flying officer who used to get annoyed when the groundcrew became confused and kept checking things with the student rather than the instructor!
