"Quite a few parliamentary questions have been lodged, so it's not over yet."
VGS Gliding is finished as it used to be known - my personal belief is it will continue to contract once some airframes are back online and become:
1 - Central - Syerston
2 - North - Probably Topcliffe
3 - South - Any of the few remaining sites
The total number of Tutor conversions from Vigilant or CPL qualified Viking pilots will number into the single digits.
As to why this came about, is it a conspiracy? is it poor management? No one will ever truly know but can say I used to be proud to be associated with the RAF.
Now I'm simply embarrassed at its incompetence. No commercial organisation of any size would tolerate this mess.
Glad to be out but as ever we won't miss it until it's too late.
