1.3 vs & Airbus 38 Lovey chap;Hon pres 2fts has been 'parachuted in' to calm the angry seas with suitable 'spin'.
Too little and much too late for it to be taken seriously (not sure about the number of o's in that one) and of course just putting out the 'party line' to those who may take the bait (not on this thread).
Calling Syerston 2FTS means nothing in real terms as it is only as good as the service it delivers. Shiny new 'showrooms' (hangars) and a workshop that looks like a laboratory but can not repair the kit. Lovely new office complex for whatever is supposed to go on in them but no one seemed to notice that they could not fix GRP work despite having a bespoke shop. Ah but they certainly nailed those unofficial badge sewing bandits (shame about the airworthiness of aircraft bit). No changes will mean no NO CHANGE the Cadets have been failed but the spin 'spins away'. And the answer is to build a factory to inspect the fleet,keep the faith,and lets get the Cadets flying (they were until it was screwed up)
What was needed was a public flogging and the odd head on a pole on London Bridge, unfortunately Baldrick lost the whip and no one could find the stores number for an AXE.
LJ (as we are having an Easter truce) why would you expect common sense and reason to be part of the 'process'.Gliding and SLMG flying does not require that much airfield infrastructure as you well know,but it does require those who are part of the planning to have some idea of the way it works and what is possible. ASK THE B.... SCHOOLS they know best because they have been quite good at doing it for 70+years, and are quite capable of knowing what is possible.Why is it those in charge seemingly ignore the very people that have demonstrated their capability in delivering the goods and think they know best.By the way Kenley is very secure; it is owned by the City of London as a common; can not be developed for anything else, and will be available for gliding as long as the RAF wish,plus the City of London are quite proud to have a fine example of an 11 group Battle of Britain airfield under their care.
