At my club this past year we have flown scouts and many other local organisations wanting to experience gliding flight, but no Air Cadets, who would be the obvious choice for wanting to fly. The Squadrons tell us that they have many willing cadets wanting to take part (with their parents paying) but HQAC have put a block on it!!
Needless to say we have very enthusiastic youngsters appearing at the club who have to deny that they have anything to do with Air Cadets.........What has the world come to, to deny that you are an Air Cadet just so that you can chase your dream of gliding/flying?
Do these VSOs really know (or care) what they have done to Air Cadet gliding these past three years?
Take the gongs away from them and put them out to grass as it is obvious they are unable to manage the current situation!
