Wonderful I rest my case P
Sometimes in life simple is best and stays that way, unfortunately the new brooms do not see the 'wood' but only f glass trees. If the RAF Cadets went back to basics and offered what we knew as normal it might just save the organisation, although we could skip the wellies, and would have to go back to all over silver and 'training' yellow; after all it was the largest and best TRAINING organisation in the world. Well done to all those who tried to salve something from the saga, plus those who have stayed with the ship. Pobjoy had his first ever flight some 60 years ago in a MK111 at Kenley, and then had to wait another couple of years to do the A&B bit, it was not just the flying but all that went with it (including the NAAFI pies) an amazing experience never bettered. (the jury's still out on the pies) Merry Xmas
