Aren't there actually two separate points here which require answers:


Firstly, the airworthiness problems and related issues, including the financial and contractual circumstances and consequences, and the managerial failings this points to in respect of RAF, MOD and contractor staff


Secondly, the way in which the "pause" seems to have been cynically exploited as a smokescreen for a large-scale dismantling of the former VGS network?


I have to add my dismay to that of many ex-cadets on here who benefited from a marvellous opportunity to fly which in practical terms no longer exists.
