Some of you QFIs who have been lost in your elementary world for too long miss the point. There are now some fantastic basic jet and turbo prop ac available worldwide. Some of these ac can be configured to be very basic or progress to something quite sophisticated.
With the fidelity now available on simulators and considering our reduced intake numbers, I question whether a Grob replacement is required. Selection could be done purely with synthetics and then the RAF could provide quality training in a quality ac. One that could prepare pilots properly for whichever role/ac they are designed.
