ACO Glider Training Gathered Under No.2 FTS

摘要

No.2 Flying Training School (FTS) was reformed on January 31 at RAF Syerston, Nottinghamshire, to control the Air Cadet Organisation's (ACO) glider operations. It will oversee the gliding training programme for up to 45,000 teenage air cadets with approximately 1,000 Air Training Corps squadrons and 203 Combined Cadet Force Sections in schools across the UK. Training will be undertaken at the 25 volunteer gliding schools equipped with Grob Viking T1 gliders and Grob Vigilant T1 powered gliders. No.2 FTS is commanded by Group Captain John Middleton, the first full-time reserve service officer at that rank in a flying command appointment. He earlier controlled the north region of the Air Training Corps.
