Cretins
Thanks for that Chev it is not a word I need to use normally, but at least it is not that offensive; and sums up the total lack of competence from those in charge of the shop. I only have complete respect for those that actually worked at the 'coal face' and made the operation the success it 'WAS'. In retrospect the whole organisation ran incredibly well with so little control from HQ Air Cadets. Because in many case's we were based on an active station, or had a parent base this had the added benefit of keeping standards high, and so the baton was passed on to future staff. This was the unique 'AIR' element of the Air Cadet Organisation.It was world class and probably never really appreciated by the main stream RAF for what it achieved. It was not only the actual flying, but the complete 'hands on' handling of all the equipment and airframes, and accepting the responsibility of making the operation work so well.
