Alex, do a search you should find yours answers in there somewhere. Also look at the RAF website and it will tell you what quals are needed.
Re-read/edit your post its not very clear..

I have conducted some in-depth research on your behalf and here is the comprehensive list of flying exercies to be successfully completed in order to attain Wings:
1. Successfully complete Up Tiddly Up Up
2. Successfully complete Down Tiddly Down Down
3. Successfully complete Looping the Loop
4. Successfully complete Flying Around
5. Successfully complete Defying the Ground
I hope this is of use.

Stoppit!!!
The pair of you obviously have way too much time on your hands.
The lad asked a bone question but do you think we have to give him such a hard time?
I'll get back to you when I can stop laughing.

Alex,
Please accept my sincere apologies for treating your serious question so light heartedly.

Don't wish to appear pedantic, SS, but what about the 'We're all frightfully keen,'' clause?

Flighty I have no idea what that means!

''We're all frightfully keen, those magnificent men in their flying machines.'' Tra la!

I did consider that and the following parts but dismissed them as purile and ridiculous.
Ma'am you have cheapened an informative thread
Now please have a look at my new topic and tell me if I have put it in the right place.
Many thanks

a young pilot i met at Cranwell who was on EFT did say that he was told to: " treat his aircraft like a women: get inside her 5 times a day and take her to heaven and back" lol made us chuckle in the candidates mess!
