BBMF pilot training??

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...

Not sure IOT would have prepared them for that.

Maybe they should add another 20 weeks.

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.
