As ever, Tuc hits the nail full on. Well over two years have passed since the Air Cadet fleet was 'paused', or more accurately, grounded. It's become apparent that schoolchildren were being flown around in military aircraft that were non-airworthy. Ministers have admitted systemic failings in oversight and execution of what, by any definition, was a basic engineering task. Public money has been wasted on an epic scale.

So, where is the MAA's report on all this? The organisation charged with regulating and assuring airworthiness of military aircraft for the last 6 years hasn't yet got round to telling the public what the heck was going on.

Anyone on this forum got any info or rumours?

Best regards as ever to those trying to fix the issues,
