The end of UK T&E

This has already happened. It began with the move of the OEUs away from Boscombe (always their natural home) and was confirmed in the symposium at the FJTS disbandment dinner in the Spring. There, it was actually described as progress to have "single type" TPs! As anyone who has ever been a tp knows, it is the cross-fertilisation and exposure to differing characteristics which comes from flying many different types that helps the aspiring (and even the experienced) tp to form opinions which he can then defend when necessary.

Sadly, I fear that the anti-Boscombe scoffers in the RAF have won. Tragic.
