A quick look at the RN recruitment website would probably answer your question. I believe that it depends on their requirements for pilots at the time, but tends to oscillate between 23 and 26 years.

As far as I can remember it is the same spec as joining as an officer. Youngest 18 up to age 26. Think they are going for the younger guys as pilots these days as they get a longer career out of them.

Dont quote me though!

You have to start your flight training by 26 this means that you have to start at Dartmouth by 25 at the LATEST. Don't forget recruitment process takes about 3 months as well. Also, don't ignore the army air corps... looks fun!
