Exnomad (#82),

Seem to remember hearing that NS had, as a condition for acceptance for training as pilots, to undertake a period of R.Aux.A.F. service after NS. Any truth in this ?

Much good would the Oxfords have done you ! They were used as the lead-in to the Meteors and Vampires we were flying at the time (Harvards would've been a lot better). We had a NS chap on 608 Squadron who came through like that as late as 1954. Heard about him many years later as a 1st/off on BA 747s.

Danny.
