Klingonbc, if you'd bothered to read my post correctly, I didn't say Syerston was involved in FT as such. I said it was a training base, which if you look at the websites concerning Syerston and the units flying from there, it surely is. As for the cadets being a Youth Organisation not RAF, why does the RAF have an Air Commodore Cadets who presumably oversees the ATC?
Syerston, at the last count was known as RAF Syerston and the photos of based aircraft show them with RAF serials-posibly a hint that if the MoD wishes to close Syerston, it can. Why not move the activities to an underused airfield with other military presence--Kirton in Lindsey springs to mind.
