@MartinEntwisle @Dunkirk_1940 @Jacob_The_Pilot I hear Yorkshire Aviation Academy at Leeds East has a good rep. Maybe start there?

Ever wondered what it is like to train as a Fast Jet pilot? @TheSun recently visited No. 4 Flying Training School at RAF Valley to see what it’s like flying at 500mph just 250ft off the ground as part of the world class training we deliver within #UKMFTS

"Future ISTAR and Rear Crew Training System (FIRCTS)" will see recapitalised structures at Culdrose and Cranwell and new simulators with 68 new positions at Ascent (instructors etc, presumably). There is however no mention of increasing fleet of 4 Textron King Air 350E AVENGER.
