The fire cover required for the Tutor is complete arse at present. DFRMO require RFF Category 2 when the CAA require RFF Category Special for the same aircraft (effectively what the VGS do at present). The really arse thing about it is that a civil registered Grob 115E could land at a RAF airfield and only need Special when if the same aircraft, now called a Grob Tutor TMk1, lands it needs Category 2. Same for a civvy Chipmunk vs a BBMF Chipmunk, etc..etc..

Utter madness for what is supposedly a risk based decision.

Anyway, it'll all be different when I'm in charge!
