And, apparently, MFTS only trains FJ pilots ...
UK MFTS provides the aircraft, synthetics and training devices to train the next generation of front-line aircrew of all three Services. Upon graduation, these pilots will go on to fly F-35B Lightning and Typhoon fighter jets.

The contract as I understand it includes live weapons expenditure, practice bombs, air to air gunnery etc.
Is there a facility for this at Teesside?, what with the south side being redeveloped, there is nowhere that I can see to put an ESA, weapon prep, ready use, ADSA etc. Even the Fire Taining Facility is being evicted. Will this be carried out elsewhere, ie TDY/APC at an RAF base etc?

L159's huh, nice aircraft, I have worked on the L39 and thought it had some clever design in it, such as a master switch that disabled the bang seats in the nosebay as a secondary backup from the normal seat systems. and the rear seater had the facility to throw various instruments in the front cockpit readings out, such as navigation.
Sadly some of the press have latched on to the Company name, the mentioned word "aircraft" and have come up with.....
