All three instructors teaching pilots to fly Nimrod reconnaissance aircraft have resigned at RAF Kinloss.
Anyone know why?



I understand from a qualified and experienced source within the fleet that a mass exodus of qualified staff would come as no surprise given the shortage of adequate resources allocated to the fleet. A shortage which brings into question long term operational efficiency and safety. The existing strategy would appear not only to be driven by the government but also by RAF management which I am given to believe has a pro-fighter mentality.

Please feel free to correct me if I am way off target but I don’t think I am!
