Total Disaster; Zero Leadership, and had not a clue what was being destroyed.
There were plenty of options that could have kept the organisation going (even at a reduced scale for a while) using leased aircraft whilst some 'capable' people put a proper plan for the future together. They wasted thousands on PTT and winches, and worst of all chucked decades of instructor expertise away in the process, plus killing off the Staff Cadet route that worked so well. Pension my foot, head on a pole on London Bridge quite reasonable.
