It wasn't full throttle or anything bit that thing is awesome! Unfortunately well never see it at it's limits because of the preservation of the airframe but massive respect to the efforts that go out to the teamwork put in to fly this thing, seen it's fly twice myself and will be seeing it for the third time this year makes me really proud to be British.
Went on a full Airbus A320 simulator the other day and posted a pic to my twitter etc, then when I went out to a club tonight literally 10 people asked me if I was a 'plane driver'
Moral is that bitches love plane drivers...
Providing you get A*-C in the GCSEs you are doing and a decent grade in the BTECs you are doing I can't see why they would massively fret and turn you away. I presume you've done some tests/assessments for the company and passed as well?
What's the apprenticeship in and what BTECs are you going to have? Without any more information I'd say you're fine, most only want maths, english and science.
