When I joined in 1975, one of those questions was: " are you a homosexual?"
Reminds me of, in the 1960s whilst on the Student Aircrew Holding Unit at Topcliffe, being asked:
OC: "Did you spend last night in The Three Tuns?"
Bas: "Yes sir."
OC: "With a woman?"
For a fraction of a second I considered replying:
"No sir, with a man!"
But, realising I was already in some sort of weird RAF trouble, decided to refrain from testing my sense of humour on our OC.
Anyway, later in the day, the RAF was redeemed by the Station Commander's remark to me:
"Jolly good show! If I was your age that's exactly what I'd be doing!"
I won't bore you with the details which was an enormous storm in a teacup - and I'm still married to the lady
