I'm looking at some exposure to risk stuff and wonder if anyone can give me some gen on the following:

What are the comparable hours (either limits or average) that military vs civil pilots fly per year? (recognising the CAP 371 para 21 limits of 900hrs pa fixed wing and 800hrs pa RW in para 23))

cheers

Average for RW is somewhere around 300, but depends hugely on dets and ops. I would imagine that civvy flying is a lot more - there have certainly been cases reported on some of the budget airlines of pilots reaching their 900hr/year maximum.
