That makes sense - thanks Postman Plod. Do I take it by that the EFT's are currently done at the individual airfields and they are trying to centralize these into two locations?
As for gliding - not reducing as a whole; just Sealand closing means 631 VGS have no where to go. I think the future is still being debated and plots of land in the area are being inspected for possible purchase.
Must say I prefer AEF to gliding, the Viking is too quiet for my liking!
