Irish citizen
Hello,
Is there any other country (I presume European) that take on non citizens of their country, like an irish citizen, to be pilots?
what is the best way to get into and be successfull recruited by an air force? (apart from doing PPL, CPL etc)

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
The PPL, CPL route demonstrates interest but other than that is of no real benefit.
Cows, very interesting, can I ask a question?
Did having an Eire nationality ever raise any issues for any ops? I suppose for repelling the Russian bear, it makes little odds, but other scenarios maybe it could? Or always irrelevant?

"The INTRODUCER"
An Irish Airman Foresees His Death
I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.
William Butler Yeats

Why does an Irishman take three times as long to do his checks?

thank you all for your replies. Lovely poem and GOOD joke!!!!!!
Cows can i ask you a question? I rang the RAF and they said that i could not join the RAF as a cadet pilot unless i lived in the UK for 5 years? it seems that most countries require this now? Or does anybody know of any country that does not?

Cloggies is.....
.....Dutchmen. I also knew a dutchman army chap who came and was an officer in the RAF. I can also recall at least three southern Irish officers in the RAF.

We had a cadet from Eire on my course at the Towers - great source of salmon after each leave! Sadly court martialled for financial irregularity involving a Families Club in Germany
