Have a care Old Duffer
If the 'MOD watchers' really got to understand the way the VGS system worked they'd want it applied to the rest of the RAF.
Apart from teaching cadets to fly to CFS standards, ALL VGS Aircrew are expected to carryout ALL first line servicing (and some 2nd line stuff to but only if 'Blessed upon from up high' ), ALL admin and supply roles, ALL MT roles, some VGS will also be Air Traffic for their airfields. On top of all this they will no doubt also have day jobs (which will allow them to carry out their VGS roles during Office hours), which is just as well as only the VGS Officers can claim pay (Thats just been cut), other staff are privileged to recieve a mileage allowance which wasn't generous even before it was reduced. The only upside in all this is that the really nasty jobs can be left to Staff Cadets, and you thought slavery had been abolished.
