During the last Foot and Mouth outbreak 612VGS deployed to Benson and operated alongside 6 AEF. I remember one day the cloud was low but within limits for the VGS so we got the Vigilants flying (before anyone from the AEF turned up). Slowly cloud base went up, but not by much and a few Tutors launched only for the boss to call them back. Between flights I went to the AEF coffee bar where I saw all the VSO AEF Pilots sitting and looking like naughty schoolboys as their boss wagged the finger at them. "Just because the gliders are flying does not mean you can."
