News?

give 'em a chance.

The snow delayed the FOD PLOD by over a week.

The area to be searched extends the best part of a mile from the airfield,

and some of the fields have been ploughed since the incident.

I am sure that the bits of Grob that are found will be with the AIB soonest and

we'll all know when the initial findings are published.

3 - 6 months? With no EFT?

Just as well the RAF didn't get rid of a pool of post EFT student pilots....

Hopefully this time without the habit of converting from a three blade unit to 2 in mid flight.

Word on the Air cadet scene says it';ll be a while yet before they let the kid's loose again. Priority will rightly be given to others higher up the food chain.

For us in Naaarfuk, that's a double whammy as our gliding school is in limbo right now. What price the 'Air' bit in Air training Corps?????

bobward, my gliding club has agreed to help out by flying cadets. Instructors have volunteered for extra duty days to acomodate them. Your local gliding clubs in East Anglia will probably be doing the same.
