I see; 5 years on and 2 FTS has built a bigger empire, but the VGS element is now minimal., and Cadet solo !!!!.
With NO CHANGE there will be NO DIFFERENCE, just more of the HYPE, TYPE, and TRIPE emanating from the top. Squillions of £ spent on non flying 'trainers', and no evidence that they even understand what they have lost. It was quite obvious that something was seriously amiss when the question of 'Badge Stitching' had to be 'approved'. Well they got to grips with that, shame about the airworthiness of the aircraft !!!!
They not only threw the baby out with the bathwater they lost the B....y bath. Remember this is GLIDING we are talking about; the aviation equivalent to a hollow log, and in the main was run by youngsters still at school operating the equipment; with a great safety record to boot.
When capability gets replaced by box ticking watch out.
