A couple of months ago some of our more senior cadets went gliding with one of the local gliding clubs. We thought it might be the start of something good, until, a few days later, a tablet of stone from on high stopped all cadet gliding with non-service schools. I don't know why (no reason given to we minions) although the rumour mill as started. Possible problem with a school way up north has lead to everyone getting stopped.

Can anyone shed light on this continuing sorry affair?

As an aside, earlier in the year we had our AEF (Tutor) flying transferred to 7 AEF at Cranwell. The difference between them and the previous outfit was amazing. I can't speak highly enough of No 7, the y were great! Long may we continue to fly with them. The cadets were highly impressed with the opportunity to stop in four different McDonalds on the way home.....
