Obviously, the 'hands on' part of flying is currently beyond the capabilities of the RAF at the moment, but that doesn't mean to say flying opportunities should be reduced to near zero.
After all, not all cadets enjoy the 'hands on' stuff. For many it is stressful and not as enjoyable as being flown.
Surely it is logical to think, 'if we as an organisation can't let the kids do some flying, we will do our best to fly them'.
When we did sunday 'liaison' visits to Benson or Abingdon, it always included a flight in a Beverley or Argosy with a volunteer crew.
Anyway, the microlight operation I described at #34 fulfilled your criteria.
