Sorry for open post but went flying with 10 AEF Woodvale today and pilot I was flying with wanted a photo of Liver Buildings - not sure if the photo I took on camera worked so if not, and he's on here - here's how mine turned out:
Excellent flight - lots of photos and interesting half hour 'sight seeing' !
On another note - have read with interest the UAS topic and was talking to one of the guys today, flying places for cadets, which are already fairly difficult to get hold of as a squadron, will be even more difficult to get hold of. With the UAS's going to two locations in the UK (so we've heard) will the AEF's go with them. If so will cadets then have to; travel to those locations or give up flying altogether? Locally we have 10 AEF at Woodvale and 631 VGS at Sealand. Gliding is going and if AEF goes or is reduced, cadets will loose interest and we will find it difficult to recruit new cadets. How many current RAF Pilots were once in the ATC and attracted by the thought of flying....
