I did get some strange looks at Biggin Hill mind, when the interviewing officer, a pipe smoking Wg Cdr, asked me what my second choice would be if I failed pilot training. I'm not sure he'd heard of the RAF Marine Branch!

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

It used to be that you could walk in to any busy crew room (that is one with people drinking coffee) and ask a question. The answer was always as forthcoming as a google search.

Ah, crew rooms,and coffee, I remember them. When I left (1999) they only seemed to have spec aircrew (commissioned and snco) in them. The youngsters were all drinking Dr Pepper or some such pop and hiding away in offices working at ISS or ATPL's, or something.

In the early '80s, a group of us were chatting with the Boss in the crew room. One of the Flt Cdrs dashed in, grabbed a coffee and was on the point of leaving when the Boss said to him "Not staying to finish your coffee, A* ?" To which the Flt Cdr, ever eager to show how important he was , replied "Sorry Boss, I've got a lot of work to do...."
Came the riposte "That doesn't surprise me, for someone who works as slowly as you do!"

Much mirth and off flounced A* in high dudgeon!

He could try this. The test is online and timed to 25 minutes. This would be a good place to start. My son has already practiced this to see the 'style' of the test.
