This saved my mates life!!!!

I train to fly in the RAF!!

What stage of training are you in, and for what position (ie Pilot, Navigator, Flight Engineer, ect)? Since I have so much time in commercial aviation, military aviation has become much more interesting to me. That's what has drawn me to these flight sims. With the exception of my Razbam A-6 and Alphasim F-111, I rarely sim-fly anything that would have someone sitting next to me. Fighters and formation flying... lots of formation flying.
 
Bone I'm still at the basic officers training stage, although I've been off recently due to personal circumstances, I train at RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire on the Grob Tutor.
As for grammer well I'm afraid you were right as a Geordie, English was never my strong point lol! I'm a computer generation person Calypsos and almost always rely on my spell check to correct me but it hasn't affected me yet lol! Thanks for the support too...NOT!

Well, good luck to you with the flight training. As far as your grammer is concerned, it most likely won't make a difference when it comes to talking on the radios....most of the chatter is either abbbreviated or truncated.
 
I never really took a persons grammer too seriously on message boards...that is unless they are being a donkey and you just want to give em a quick jab :icon_lol:

I was married to a Bournemouth girl, who's sister was married to a Geordie. I never had a problem understanding him, until we started drinking...and that just made him funnier. He was pilot, too, so we had alot in common.

Now, my buddy from Glasgow...that was an accent that could be tough. Two shots of Drambui would have him talking in Glasweejan (spelling?).

Believe me Peter, I was trying to be supportive of your career.

As a guy who has 'been there, done that and got the tee-shirt' (which has long since faded and been eaten by moths), I was only pointing out something that any of your instructors would have done, you (having announced now, your true status) represent the Royal Air Force, computer generation or not. Without wishing to sound like a school teacher, I have noticed a distinct improvement in you grammar since I made the post.
Good luck with Cranwell, not somewhere I ever went to myself...too thick!!
