Complete C........F......

Clunk we are now the victim of a huge CF that has even affected the simple operation of gliders.
It is the classic 'could not run a sweet shop giving away free sweets' scenario and yet the top end is stuffed full of complete non-doers,and no hopers.
All they are capable of is Yuk Speak as Uncle Roger used to say in Flight.
Well they have finally driven a very long nail into this coffin of what was excellence.The simple truth is in the great scheme of things the Air Cadets are now so small and low profile no one will notice what we have lost.
Sad to say it has become a home for pension top ups and post filling rather than a bastion of leadership by example. The real loss is the VGS set up that kept the basic operation going against an increasing load of bull ****.
Deeply sorry it has come to this and that so many youngsters will miss the experience we had and valued. As there are NO VOTES for anyone in this do not expect any real searching questions as to how and why. Cranwell and Syerston (even before 2 FTS) have been seen to be negligent in their overseeing of this great organisation, and yet the gravy train rolls on 'through' the buffers with no end in sight. I hope the Scouts pick up some of the pieces and expand their operation. As to those paid staff that have let this happen shame on you letting this situation develop.
