ok, have been keeping an intrigued eye on the situation at oxford. have v. reliable information source there.
Seems from your side of things the guinea pigs are getting aircraft when they need them, and appear to have a dedicated instructor, with an expansive military background.
From my knowledge of OATS though this is not the standard for all customers/students!
At the moment things are going the right way, but if this becomes a permanent situation, how long will it be until the novelty wears off and the standard scheduling and serviceability problems take effect?
All we can do is watch and see.
Hopefully if the experiment is successful OATS won't need reminding that 'the RAF is not just for christmas!'
