Believe you me Cat, those at the top will never allow this to happen again. There is going to be so much paperwork you will not believe it. Everybody involved will have to sign their lives away.
What is needed is understanding at all levels including volunteers of what airworthiness involves and why it matters, not more paperwork - at least not more paperwork than if they were on the G register.
Anyone involved in anything to do with airworthiness (paid or not) including a DI, needs at least a basic understanding of what they should do and equally important, what they should NOT do.
As to the ATC - there are many commendable organisations for children and teenagers to belong to including not only the ATC, but the other cadet forces, Scouts, Guides, Cubs, Brownies, orchestras, sports clubs, dance studios, and even BGA gliding clubs. Is the ATC seriously the very best of them? I do feel there is an awful lot of 'rosy glasses' going on about how the ATC used to be.
