Civilian Instructors for the RAF
I absolutely agree that they will struggle like hell to get people to Valley. However for the few of us who actually quite like the place this is not a bad pipe and slippers job. Maybe the paucity of applicants might even mean they'll offer a decent salary?!
As for the Linton angle, I seem to recall being taught by quite a few ageing QFIs who had been around for aeons. Would civilian ex-RAF QFIs be any different?
