I am not looking at the job the VR(T) do, I am suggesting that the whole VR(T) be disbanded. That includes AEF, VGS and any other set of initials you care to bring up. I am sure retired Air Chief Marshal Bloggs, who is now FgOff acting Flt Lt Bloggs VR(T) won't care a damn that he is no longer commissioned in the VR(T). It won't affect his pension, nor will it prevent him flying his AEF aircraft. He might now be "Third Officer Bloggs of the ATC or some other name, and he will still wear his RAF uniform with a different set of rank braid, and a new cap badge. We will even let the cadets and his ATC juniors call him sir ( I would also call him sir, but because he is a retired ACM, not an air cadet AEF jock). So what's the problem??
By the way. I know of several Verrry senior ex RAF officers who fly/flew air cadets in various AEF's. Fun to see them at ATC Guest Nights in a FgOff No 5, with God knows what stars and gongs all over their chest.
