Summer Camps at Leeming, St Mawgan as a stude - top stuff! Then, Laarbruch, St Mawgan (twice) as a QFI - magic times indeed.

Beags - I am with you on this one and am wishing that 'them with egg on their hats' stop screwing around with our heritage and return UASs to something approaching their former glory. If the RAF does not compete for the 'top guns' at uni, we will lose them to the airlines and the aforementioned seniors will have egg on their faces!

Maybe you should bid for doing the RAF's UAS Summer Camps for them. Buy/lease some Chippies, 'Dogs or similar. There must be a whole host of good guys who'd do a week or 2 for you - meanwhile, we could be on 'perpetual camp'. All the studes would get the benefit of proper fg trg as well as the 'old and bold' stories. Their airships certainly seem not to care very much about the 'ethos' the UASs help generate - so think how much they could save by binning the whole UAS system?
