The way ahead

Greetings O/Duff and 463.
Aldis lamps not needed with 'reliable bats', and we can house machines in simple poly structures, plus 'ferrules' only showing that you are far too young. We will use a simple axe, reef knot, and tape 'insulating' KISS. Caravan nice but not a 'control van' budget about £150 for one suitable for messing requirements, and temp overnight staff cadet accommodation for those early cable checks. We don't need quartermasters that's far too 'organised', and smacks of paperwork.
I am afraid the T21 will have to be sacrificed in the name of efficiency and no of days lost when the wind is too high. Once the Cadets are 'solo'ed' they can fly single seaters which are far more fun,(phase 2).
Anyway I see that you already 'warming' to the idea, so well done, its amazing what can be done with improvisation. Aerotowing will be introduced at an early stage to bring in some income to subsidise the operation. One thing though, we will NOT expect cadets to use wellies.
