I saw that too! Glad the cadets got to fly, even if it meant a slight rule deviation!
Here is the problem - it’s not permitted with RAFAC in the UK, yet, because it is a high profile actvity abroad, the rules were ignored or massaged to fit the circumstances. Tsk, tsk.
Precedence has been set…

Happended previously on IACE, RAFAC cadets flying in Civil Air Patrol Cessnas in the USA.
We also have the situation of cadets flying to IACE on civilian aircraft as passengers and outside of IACE cadets flying to/from the UK for camps etc - our regs don’t differenciate between a NPPL flying a microlite and an ATPL flying an A380, in theory it shouldn’t happen!
I think we need to ban running and jumping, as technically you’re in the air. Sounds dangerous. Speed walking only.
I believe on IACE they adopt & comply with the rules of the hosting cadet force.
But it’s a good example as if the Belgians can do it why can’t we?
Yep, all unknown quality / auditing / safety / duty of care…
Did any “foreign” IACE cadets so fly in the UK??
The other anomoly we have is that the 3822A of course only asks for parental consent for cadets to fly in ‘British military registered aircraft’, which of course the Tutor is not.
Indeed, a mate went to IACE as an escorting officer and the range procedures described would probably give the SATTs a coronary.
Is that the one where you had a .22rf range in a church hall with the target frames in the base of the stage with curtain & it turned out they were holding a parish council meeting on top of the stage behind the curtain during a range practice….
I don’t think looking outside the UK would help, given the other UK cadet forces do it, and that doesn’t seem to matter.

Would someone be shouting a Jackie weaver to read the range Orders 
According to the anecdote the actual response was “ it’s only 22 it’s not dangerous” in an Australian/kiwi accent
