The announcement by the MOD yesterday on the award of the MFTS £1.1billion Contract to AFT (Ascent Flying Training).

Headline MOD 'Infographic' ...

More info here ...

MOD MFTS Contract

But no news yet around any 'interim' arrangements until AFT are fully up an running.

23 Prefects (Grob G120TP), 10 Texans (Beechcraft T-6C) and 5 Phenoms (Embraer P100) ... 230 Students a year ... which I assume is a total of RAF, RN and Army Students ?

This did make me smile in the Press Release ...
