I have no doubt that DHFS are receptive to change and rightly so if they want to survive in these harsh times. But that doesn't make them the solution. I think Middle Wallop has more than a strong case for it's future and its Commandant is right to push and highlight this.
The solution is meant to be UK MFTS, but reading this thread makes me realise that, 10 years into the project, it's not made much progress!
