RVL is Atlantic Reconnaissance. The decision was made to change the name during the management buy-out (which happened because Mike Collett is slowly selling off parts of his 'empire' as he would like to retire at some point in the near future- it started a few years back with him selling Airlines to the management, then flight training and now reconnaissance.

RVL still has the the same contracts, our main 1s at the minute are HM Coastguard, Environment Agency, Ordnance survey, RAF, OSRL and ILS calibration with some UK airports.

Join RVL as a cadet and yes you will only fly single crew operations on C310s, C402, C404 and F406 but ask anybody who did the whole cadet thing and did their stint on recon, they will all say how it was the best flying of their careers - when the ATR pilots were still around they would always tell us how much they miss recon - its an opportunity not to be missed out on in my opinion.
