I had the privilege of seeing the UAS from both sides of the fence: as a Cadet Pilot at UGSAS and subsequently as a QFI at YUAS.
Whilst some of us, and then 15 years later, some of my students, elected to join the RAF, Flying Lawyer's regard for the Service, was a major aim.
Perhaps it is time, in this climate of cutbacks, to look at ways of retaining the UAS, the OTC etc and where possible combining resources to make savings.
Although there may be some dilution of tradtion by combining the 3 Services into a single University unit it would be better than losing one, or all.
