Unchecked,
Training the RN to fly it will be a professional responsibility, but I take your point about a lack of motivation. There is a major problem with the whole transfer for the RAF. Who will want to stay, given that it is suddenly a big game of musical chairs where half of the chairs get removed in a oner?
Some light blue will have to stay around until the transfer is complete with the risk that their mates who jumped ship early now have a job and they don't. Or the second tourist who stays, doesnt quite achieve 'above average in the air', and has to start all over again, but 2 years behind his equivalent mucker who jumped before him=career foul. That is quite a dilemma.....
