I took both of my sons to Speedwing consultants. A tad expensive, I think at the time 300 quid each.
The man who met me asked where my oppo was, and when I pointed at my two young boys, was a tad concerned and remarked that they had never given the aptitude test to children before.
Both were rated well, the younger higher. The oldest is a Captain with a charter airline having flown commercially since he was 18, the younger works as an aircraft technician for Delta in the US.
He was instinctually a better pilot of the two from an early age, just never interested.
The tests they described to me, seemed very similar to those I had done at Biggin Hill, years before, before doing the practical Fleet Air Arm tests at Roeborough on the Chipmunk.
My particular intake started with around twenty-five, ended with three.
