According to their website:
Tayside Aviation holds the prestigious MoD contract to deliver flight training on behalf of the RAF Air Cadet pilot scheme. Tayside are the only civilian organisation entrusted to deliver flight training to over 200 scholarships per year delivered using the Grob 115 military trainer at Dundee airport.
Has anyone ever seen that contract advertised or put out to tender? How is it that Tayside has such exclusivity?
When I did my Special Flying Award as part of an RAF Scholarship in 1968, I was allowed to choose where I did it....and chose Rogers Aviation at Cranfield, one of the many civil flying schools which provided such training in those days?
