Why should we expect 'military guys' to try and make this ridiculous crock of $hit 'work'? That's the job of the PFI provider. A 'can do' attitude is all very well in the military world, but not so for sorting out some contractor's bolleaux so that their bottom line won't suffer.

Snake Oil Flying School know darn well that it's going to be difficult for them to attract QFIs of the right calibre - particularly if the only option for them is Valley.

I suspect for many, who might have thought about QFI-ing, that the airline world might now be of rather greater appeal.

But if they closed Valley, moved the Hawk T2s and remaining T1s to Leeming with T6NL....T-6Cs replacing the Tucanos at Linton.....
