Guys,
What a thought. Flying a 70 year old design! Like flying Gloster Gladiators now!! Good point DB.
I am with the concept of re-opening Chivenor, but I guess the only certainty about the MFTS is that Valley will stay open!
OK Spry. You win. I also cannot imagine flying thumb and stopwatch over the prairies. Sounds like the NFTC course is the way to go. Have we had any decent (printable) feedback from the guys who came back onto the OCUs recently.
Anyway, now all we need to do is convince the top-nobs to buy some new jets and let us get on with it. Wouldn't it be nice (therefore unlikely) that the whole flying training system might get renewed. We might even get a decent turboprop at the same time. Heaven forbid that we would buy anything that worked, or might come in useful.
Oh oh, another bad day in the office dear.
Yours Rog
