If true what an absolute diabolical waste of taxpayers money. Should at least be auctioned for parts.

Yes but having friends who fly there, they are continuing to have issues with people on the airfield that shouldn't be! Anyone that's been to Kenley knows how unsecure the site is. And as we know,...

But the amount of bureaucracy and work that the RAF are making the contractors work through to...

No. I am reliably informed Kenley has issues that are preventing 615 from standing up as H&S has become a major factor with inadequate fencing to keep people off.

Even the BGA Club has had issues...

A shame to hear that cadet solos are being restricted. I've seen plenty of examples of most GSA clubs having sent under 16s solo under BGA regs so I suspect it's an issue with the ACO directly, and I...

Some good news at last. But it appears it takes about 5 months then, from return to flight with 2FTS supervision to flying cadets. A few other VGSs have come live again such as 622, but many are...

I have never suggested that the BGA would be able to replace the entire VGS structure with no changes or extra resources. I have simply suggested that the way Air Cadets in Australia glide alongside...

The Australian Way
