Bomber pilot in raf career info?
Is the training the same as fighter pilots? there is no mention of them do the RAF use aircraft like the yank's B52 or maybe the stealth bomber?

- Basic pilot training the same for all, then you do aircraft type specific training. Modern day bombers are essentially tactical mid sized jets with a trend to unmanned aircraft. The yanks use the B52 for long range missions. UK has no reasons for them.
- There are no bombers in the RAF. All they have for offensive strikes are Harriers and Tornados. They will be getting the F35 but that also is not a bomber. The last REAL bomber the RAF had was the Avro Vulcan which was retired in 1984. I believe it was last used in the Falklands War.
- Confirmed. The RAF has not had a bomber wing since the V Bombers ended service in 1984. You will not get bomber training with the RAF, only fixed wing strike aircraft or transports and rotary.
