Of course what is needed are some REAL machines that Cadets can actually get to fly and go solo in.
Oh I forgot we used to do that not so long ago before the 'hands on experience' was replaced by sitting in a plastic bath tub looking at a screen.
Nothing to stop us going back to something that worked assuming those in charge actually knew what they were doing. (may be a problem there)
We need the AIR back into Cadets, and a new fleet of MK3's with the 60 mins to solo provision.
I would accept changing the 'wellies' for a more suitable footwear, and we could up grade the NAAFI pies to make then into a combi adaptation of a Cornish Pasty with meat and potato at one end and jam at the other. There we are all sorted, and could be another World first for the Cadets. An upgrade to winching could be reusable
Jetex packs to bring us up to date. What a combination basic training to spaceflight in one economic system.
