Brian,there was a guy on the cadet course before mine,with whom I shared the same digs,who was an ex FC (and I believe a 'chopped' pilot) .Prior to joining CAA,he had been at Maastricht,and we both ended up on the same watch at LATCC,though he on South Bank.

A few 89 Entry faces recognisable........

Curious to know more about this. Did he get wings at the end of it, or was he still a wingless wonder!?

Engineers and doctors both did flying training as pilots, navigators I think, and AEO. They got the brevet, flying pay, and did a full flying tour. The aim was to enable doctors to better understand the conditions of high performance flight and engineers to be better informed later in their careers. I think largeky it died out by the 70s.
