I should have added that the advice went on to say that 'we find people doing subjects such as History and Geography can offer more commitment to the UAS than Engineering'. It's a tricky one, analytical subjects certainly have their place, but with a known shortage of engineers I would have thought the RAF would be doing all they can to encourage them. Anyway, enough of my whining, thanks guys all appreciated. Can't believe I'm on PPRUNE extolling the virtues of engineering!
