RAF recruits are waiting months and even years to learn to fly warplanes, using desks to practice instead, leaked documents have revealed.
An internal memo from May and slides from a top RAF meeting in July revealed the Royal Air Force's (RAF) fast jet pilots are experiencing a severe delay in waiting times for training slots due to a lack of aircraft and instructors.
The 'crisis' backlog means not enough pilots may be available in the future to fly planes on the frontline, including Typhoon and F35 squadrons, reports [url=][/url].
The delays come at a time of international insecurity with growing threats from Russia and China and war in Europe.
The documents revealed that 347 trainees - more than half of the total 596 in aircraft training - are waiting for a training course slot or are on a 'refresher course' due to delays between training phases.
