A friend of mine from 7 FTS became a Hawk creamie, promised choice of types once he'd completed his Valley tour. His preference was Harriers, but sent to Tornado GRs instead, as apparently the Harrier force was sucking up too many "above average" types, and there needed to be a better distribution across the FJ world. Not too happy, but went on to have a very successful career, including GW1.
