I take my retired hat off to all RAF VR(T) officers for the work they do encouraging and supervising young people, some of whom might want to join the RAF. Nobody in this World is perfect and it is too easy to pick at some of them but, in general, they do a very worthwhile job and are of great benefit to our community.
I spent some of my serving time assisting them on an ATC Squadron and I know how dedicated most of them are. I also spent some time teaching ATC cadets to glide during week-ends whilst I was a staff officer and I flew lots of cadets on summer camp air experience. I could in those days have recruited more well-motivated pilots into the RAF than PMC ever did and they would have stayed. We used to solo more pilots than RAF Flying Training every year.
Serving personnel should support and encourage the RAF VR(T) officers - they do a great job.
