Plans are in motion to chop the ATC glider squadrons from 26 down to 12 and reduce the fleet down to 88 frames. There are seemingly 40,00 of the little ATC cherubs out there. So large numbers of spaceys could soon be missing out on flying experiences. With a reducing RAF surely it makes sense to have smaller ATC or is it still a vital recruiting tool.

It would be real shame to see these being cut.

I was a spacey and the only reason I joined was because I heard you could go flying... And in the 4 1/2 years I was a member I did sh1t loads of Chipmunk, Bulldog and Glider flying.

The lack of oppotunity to go flying may well hit ATC membership... And yes, I have always thought the ATC was a good recruiting ground for the RAF.
 
With ref to FOMz post, that was what the ATC was created for, however I think we're in danger of having more cadets than serving personnel so they can't all join!
 
They're only joining in the faint hope that Rachel Riley might become an honorary Gp Capt!:PDT_Xtremez_28:
