So good bye Air Cadets in Northern Ireland then ,what is the point of existing if there is no flying available.
Little Englandshire based thinking as usual
If there is the sufficient enthusiasm amongst cadets and instructors, perhaps forming an independent organisation without the formal links to central ACO is the answer? Building your own microlights has already started in NI, so if the ACO are going to ignore your needs, just do it your own way. As pointed out by Skysports, its not like you will be depriving the cadets of lots of flying in MOD aircraft. Other typical cadet activities could be organised by forging links with appropriate shooting and outdoor pursuits clubs.

There is an independent group near here along the lines of Army Cadets, so it can be done.
