True - but surely (I know, stop calling me surely) the RAF first has to decide if it wants to train WSOs, and then let a contract under MFTS to get somebody to provide such training.

To the best of my knowledge the RAF is not planning to re-start WSO training under MFTS, and if it were to change its mind at a later stage would any civil company be willing to set up the required infrastructure for potentially very small numbers of students?

In my opinion the WSO trade is dead and buried, and any future training requirement for RAF rear crew officer specialists will probably piggy back on RN Observer training - which I believe is still continuing under MFTS!

But thanks for your input...!
