I've partly read through this thread (it's huge and may have missed relevant posts) with interest but left wondering: are there any airframes left within the ATC for opportunities for flying and/or gliding and despite what has been going on with the air experience side of things (and I can't pretend to fully understand) is the organisation still worth being part of for an aviation enthused youngster?

Hi
Yes there are still AEF Squadrons flying Tutors and VGS flying Viking gliders and deliver Part Task Training (Simulators) the gliding side is much reduced but in theory there are more aircraft to come back online.
Also yes the organisation is still worth being part of for an aviation enthused youngster.
