In my opinion the move to put all Flying Scholarships (or whatever they call the, these days) at Dundee Airport was a massive error. Whilst I am sure that the uber keen sold their soul to get there, it will have put off many more and especially those from more humble backgrounds.

The whole contract should be scrutinised and in my opinion regionalised again. Letting the Service Flying Clubs take a slice of the students would pass on savings to the taxpayer (as Service Flying Clubs are non profit making) or could even see the funding stretch further to more Air Cadet students.

When I run the Air Force it will all be different...
