Every cadet I spoke to that day had flown in Tutors at least twice before, in stark contrast to the more local cadets who are usually first timers. Great that some cadets are getting so much, and it gives the lie to the doom merchants' claims that cadet flying is a thing of the past...
It's the summer camp period so no doubt the AEF Tutors are being made available at many stations hosting camps.
