On the AEF front I think there is a plan to expand AEFs with the extra Tutors coming on line with MFTS not needing them. So I suspect we might see some new AEFs coming up in the gaps (including NI).
That's the rumour I've heard anyway. Good news for Cadets if they can find the pilots (unless they relax the requirements to Servicemen with PPLs).
