It’s possible there’s been formal corporate updating on this across RAFAC (nee ACO) and I’ve just missed it.
Has the CEP (as in CCFs into State Schools) been a success/failure, or still officially a work in progress?
There’s not been much talk of them up in Scotland: and I suspect that politics of every conceivable variety will further limit their visibility.
But I’m intrigued as to how the programme is going. In particular: if the respective Community Cadet Force SLTs had a straight choice between retaining a couple of barely (or arguably) viable units: would their standing preference now be to create a unified replacement CCF formation?
I’m trying to interpret how RAFAC will look after my time: less traditional ATC squadrons (through closures/mergers)? and more CCF RAF sections, due to closer community liaison (esp schools)?
Presumably there are some state school CCFs that are multi-school membership (if not just because of complex campuses, but also due to overlapping catchment areas). Or is this not the case?
Was Wg Cdr CCF @HQRAFAC given additional staffing to cover said expansion, or was that all just treated as minor variation?
All rather curious, given the challenging era we live in (and the shrinking wider RAF family)
