Does anyone remember the good old days when you used to be able to PPR (with all the compliance etc) And get PPR to an RAF airfield?
I used to think MOD policy encouraged and accommodated the taxpayer to their airfields where appropriate - but now it seems every possible lazy Half baked excuse is trotted out to not accept civil air systems to RAF stations that apparently seem not to be able to cope with all 3 “university air squadron” Grobs in a day...
Seems the RAF only want to know from us when they want a shiny aircraft on display for open days.....pathetic.
Contrast this with the Royal Navy who bend over backwards to offer a service (For a fixed wing civil) to the largest helicopter base (and fixed wing) in Europe and you wonder what the problem is.....
Lunatics and asylum spring to mind?
