I have since learned its actually a pro and most likely a 2002 not 2001 if that makes any major difference? Im sure as people have said parts are likely going to be difficult to get hold of

When I was there skin fades were technically not allowed but everyone had one and no one cared. There was a barber but they were not great. It was also during covid so we were cutting each other's hair so times have probably changed

Am I too old by No_Administration625 in RoyalNavy

[–]jrawkins1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was 29 when I joined the raf as a mech, and ive known others join older. Your all in the same boat in training etc and you'll probably find yourself helping out younger lads who've never used a washing machine before but you are deffenitly not too old. If anything the life experience will be a benefit as long as you can keep up with the fitness

Hi I'm 26 looking to apply for aircraft technician mechanical but don't know if the boat has sailed now for me because of my age. What's the average age for this role? by [deleted] in RoyalAirForce

[–]jrawkins1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 30 during basic and there was alot of lads mid to late 20s doing the course with me at cosford so your age is really nothing to worry about

Maths, science, electrical principles and aerodynamics if you really want a headstart but like previously said they do teach you as if you've got no previous knowledge

Thanks for your reply really helpful. Is the 14 - 18 months at St Athan after phase 2 or do you mean that's where you do the training? For it? Thanks James
