TigerM @ #38 ... I thought the Vigilant was our Top Secret 4th V Force Bomber
There are many good Air Cadet Officers/Staff who willingly give up their spare time to genuinely help our young people get interested in flying and the RAF rather than sit on their a$$ and/or beat up old ladies ... Equally you will, like in all walks of life, get a few
pr@ts.
I can recall an Air Cadet Wing Co referring to his new GI "wings", when first issued, that they
"looked like the real thing" on No 5's
Sad really ... as comments like that tend to tar the more modest volunteers who have worked hard/long to get their GI Rating ... as have professional Regular Aircrew ... but there can be no other comparison.
Easy mistake to make I suppose ... especially if you've had a couple of sherbets
