Given your location and evident interest, furrydude, are you perchance one of the people running the utter crock known as MFTS?
If so, no doubt you will be able to cast light on the current rumour doing the rounds that 4 Sqn (under Ascent) have temporarily had to stop training students? Who are now being sent to 208 Sqn for traditional RAF training instead? The rumour being that Ascent will have to sort things out for themselves as everyone else wishes to see the return of a proper RAF training system - and the end of this flawed PFI nonsense.
Good luck in finding anyone happy to commute regularly between Valley and Filton.....
