Does anyone know what is happening with it, and whether they will be opening within the next 6 months or so?
I've got the decision of whether to enter commercial flight training instead, which is a big money commitment, something that will be hard for myself, so I'd rather go through the RAF.
At the same time, I don't want to be waiting around this time next year waiting for the RAF to be recruiting pilots.
If anyone has any information on this topic, I would really appreciate the help!

Hi Callum
A young, close friend visited an RAF recruitment office (Armed Forces actually but who cares - well you might!) in last 2 weeks to be told that despite his recent Flying Scholarship and excellent CCF activites there are no RAF flying slots coming up. BUT... The RM recruiter in the same office said the RM DOES have slots.
Good luck
