Remembering The Jet Set...........

[Unknown74]

Was watching the PBS America Channel and to my surprise on came the STV Made Jet Set Programme narrated by Ewan McGregor about 15 Sqdn Tornado GR.4 Trainee Pilots at RAF Lossiemouth, always remember how well made it was. Anyway got me thinking I wonder now that the Tornado GR.4 is out of service what these Trainee Pilots are flying now? Typhoon? Lightning? or not flying now?

All of the above and I’d assume some will go onto the transport and ISTAR and training fleets too.

Being pilots you can of course find most of them on Linkedin etc. Won't put the names of each individual on here, but you should locate them as easy as I did.
One is with the Team TEMPEST Rapid Capabilities Office. Another is a trials officer on 41 Sqn Typhoon. A couple are airline first officers with the likes of Jet2. One is quoted in an american military article as having ejected from a Tornado in a take-off emergency in Kandahar in July 2009.
Of the instructors, one is Officer Commanding RAF Spadaedam while another is Commandant of No 6 Flying Training School. One is Managing Director of Affinity Flying Training Services.
