A whisper reached me to the effect that some UASs have already lost their QFIs in anticipation of the stillborn announcement..
The change of emphasis in the UAS scheme being proposed is alleged to free more time for Force Development, Leadership and Personal Development Training (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean) with, allegedly, 'obvious benefits for both the RAF and wider society'
Bollocks.
How will that encourage anyone to join the RAF?
Catch 'em young - or lose 'em forever.
