Dunno whether you guys are aware, but you can download an audio file of the RAFFT beep test via the internet (it's on the RAF careers or RAF community website I think). Very handy for prep - road running and cross country doesn't quite train your body in the same way.
Just got home from my medical, only thing that seemed to be an issue was something i had as a child. Perthes disease (even though its not actually a disease). Although it does't automatically exclude me they need to see my last x-rays to check for any abnormality.
Its something that hasn't bothered me or affected my everyday life in years and i know the ball joint on my hip has grown slightly larger (same has happens with most bone injuries, i.e. breaks and fractures) so hopefully it will be ok although the doctor said not to get my hopes up.
Already dropped the forms off for my gp to pass on relevant information, does anyone know if there is anything i can do if i get rejected on this basis?
I feel for you mate. Like was advised to me, might be worth trying to speak to your GP (although this can be easier said than done) and ask what their opinion is, did you circle YES or NO to seeing what they send to CAPITA? Personally I don't know what the process is, but you may be able to appeal it via the AFCO, maybe give them a call and ask "what if this comes back, can I appeal it?". Don't give up though keep training because as you said it was a childhood issue so there may be a possibility they will pass it on what your GP tells them.
Good luck, I hope the news is good when it comes!
