Keep the VGS
All i can say is as someone who was on a VGS is that it would completely ruin the chance of young people to get into Aviation. With the demise of much flying from AEF's the VGS's seem like the last step. I am not in the RAF but i do fly for a living and the VGS that i was on was a significant influence in my career so far!
Just my 76 South African cents worth.
