BBMF pilot training??

[scottyhs]

Just reading the following website:

http://www.aircadets.org/

And under the news section, For the recent IOT grads, ive noticed a few are listed as "commencing flying training with the BBMF"

Now are the BBMF doing EFT or have these guys got their gen wrong???

Not 100% sure, correct me if im wrong, but i think they will probably just tag along with the BBMF flight as their holding squadron whilst they wait for a gap at EFT that they can fill. With the sods maybe lucky enough to get a flight or two...

Shy Torque,

That's absolutely chocking.

Not sure IOT would have prepared them for that.

Maybe they should add another 20 weeks.

Don't count your spring chickens...

Squadron Leader Skipper: How many hours in Spits?
Simon: Ten and a half, sir.
Squadron Leader Skipper: Let's make it eleven, before Jerry has you for breakfast!
Pilot Officer Archie: Spring chicken to !!!!ehawk in one easy lesson.
