Guys,
I am not one for being too much of a traditionalist, but lets not forget Wallop is the home of the AAC and remains one of the busiest fields in the UK with many thousands of movements per year.
Army pilots must remain to be trained at Wallop from flying grading to the award of wings. Yes the fixed wing/HALS ect combo is not ideal but with such an outstanding ATC team there are no issues. SPTA and Hampshire/Wiltshire creates great army pilots. LONG LIVE MIDDLE WALLOP.
It is always too easy to combine units and types and sadly that is happening as we speak all over the UK, clearly due to cost, but the penalty is the loss of unit identity.
