"So, with the knowledge gained we re-grouped and aimed for a BofB airshow in September 2015. Again we were about 70% of the way towards this event until we were recently informed by the RAF that they were refusing us permission to hold an event at Kenley due to the "local use requirements" for the site (no powered flying at OR in the airspace over Kenley). This restriction will apply for the forseeable future (so no airshows) at Kenley."

I am confused - can someone explain this in English. Never heard of such a restriction before. or is this just officialdom being "difficult"?


Then I found this bit further down


during 2014, the CO of all RAF gliding schools changed and the new postholder adopted a negative attitude towards the event (risk management) and it was he who pulled the plug on us in October

Hmm, sounds like "Air Cadet Gliding"
