Supervision

The case above is highly relevant to this thread, as the individual above was applauded and promoted for being a 'whistleblower' at 616. He reported his CO, CFI and duty instructor to the centre,...

Achievement of the Aim

I don't think the changes are anything to do with ordering people about or training-day pay, rather post Haddon-Cave perceptions. The loss of three cadets in two AEF accidents was a watershed,...

Cadet Training via service clubs

Corp Clott, as an ex-RAF Flying Club secretary, I couldn't imagine anything worse than 'Get 2FTS to administer Air Cadet flying through these clubs'. Not only would he have the same negative impact...

Congratulations to Adam

Marvelous news to read the Northern Echo story and hearty congratulations to Adam and the staff at 1507. Time was that the draw from the 647 VGS was so strong that OC 1507 decided to ban any cadet...

Selection and Maintenance of the Aim

You can't knock success. As a tax payer, ex-Vigi instructor and a member of one of the 14 ex-VGS, I would like to complement the Commandant of 2 FTS on his new HQ and the fortitude he has shown in...

Joint Service Cadets

I read through the Winter edition of 'Air Cadet' magazine this week, which included cadets bobbing about on TS Royalist and others winning a skill at arms competition. As the only flying seems to...

The end justifies the means

Imagine a desired strategic aim that stated: Post-Haddon-Cave and the loss of three cadets, the MOD can not have the PR risk of civilian volunteers flying RAF-associated young people in Mil Reg...

Canopy Assistance

A and C.

No need for the complexity of compressed air. The Chippy has a small canopy assits panel that aids the pilot to slide back the lid at high speed.

Vigilant VGS official video

Does anyone have a copy of the official Vigilant VGS orientation video? I presume there was a Viking equivalent.

I will have a few beers, watch it and cry myself to sleep

Delivering the task is not the issue
