Will this signal the end of PTS at the famous Oxfordshire airbase? How the RAF has managed, or wanted, to hang on to this role makes no sense.
On a positive note the pubs of Carterton will not have to endure testosterone fuelled paras trying to convince the locals how hard they are.
The downside will be that there will be less SNCO's for orderly dog, and loss of a wingco post for a PEdO!
As the SAS prefer their free fall training to be done by the americans will the Falcons wither on the vine?
