So just so i'm clear on this. It's ok for an older guy (I'm talking 30-40's)who's been given a position of authority and moral responsibility, to be getting to know rather well, his 18 and 19 year old student. Would it be ok if it was her university lecturer, or perhaps if she was in 6th form and it was her form master?

Yep, pretty much, they are engaging in extra-curricular activity, and so was I.
Would have been a dull old tour if we all played by the rules... Can't beat a bit of young blood!

grow up and do something official about it, if it is an abuse of power
If it ain't - accept that they are gettin some and you ain't and stop whingin

When I was at school, the PE teacher had a "relationship" with a fifth year (she was 16) and, as far as I know, they are still married.
MCPWhore says you can't beat a bit of new blood - I say you can't beat a bit of experience!
Sorry, I've just seen your last post wrt rattling cages. You're a first time poster (although maybe not new to Pprune) and have made some "tut-tut isn't it awful" comments with which very few people agree. So, if you feel a particular situation is "out of order", then you should speak to the appropriate people. If you're asking for other people's opinions to the matter, you'll find that most think there's no big deal.

I am in need of some refresher training dear Whirls.....

Sassy dahling,
I'm not sure it works the other way round i.e. older male student and younger, female instructor!
Nice try sweet!

Only if you go to a UAS for girls. Man up and get drinking, it will stand you in good stead for the rest of your time in the airforce!
Woah! Im not saying I don't drink! I'm just saying that it's not a forced thing...
I know very few people who don't, but I know that if somebody said 'nah, not tonight thanks' we would never push them into it.

You like dipping your wick in your mate's daughter eh? Does he know?
And you have the front to question UAS staff.
The downright cheek!
I agree with the above. Got a problem - use the chain of command. If you haven't - don't try and stir the sh!t in here. Weasel.
Just cos you ain't getting any...?

So let me get this right, two (or in some cases three, jammy bar steward!) consenting adults of legal age have been 'getting it on' having met through work; this may also have involved some socialising. Someone not involved has decided to go public rather than confront the issue to those 'bumping uglies'. So, I asume this is Mr Prescott at it again?
Frankly, it's up to them! If they are happy, who are we to complain? If they are not, there are plenty of ways of solving it between themselves (I believe that dumping by text is now de rigeur). For myself, I wonder would it have been ok if one of my IOT Flt Cdrs had offered me a ride; she certainly did in my dreams....................................................
whoops, ND, ND!

At most universities that sort of thing is OK but the lecturer has to tell the head of department, so they don't find themselves marking the student's exams... This is quite a good deterrent: having to go to the Professor and explain you are bonking half your seminar group is a tad hard to do. Unless he's doing it too, of course.

Whirls my sweet....even old rats like cheese! I'll go halves on the bar bill....honest!
With great respect, if any of you or your colleagues are detected having a relationship with a person where there is an instructor/student relationship that implies trust and a position of power in any institution I am aware of, you will be immediately shown the door, notwithstanding legal age etc. etc.
While I am aware of people getting away with it in the services over here, it is NOT a good idea and scandals and lots of tears regularly occur - they just rarely make the media.
P.S. Is pregnancy regarded as a self inflicted wound?
