The Cluster at the Muster

Pretty rubbish for the Cadets who arrived at the pick up point at 05:20 to get there today.

Some had a half hour journey to get there too.

Please tell me this isn’t true… cadets in our wing had a crazy early start and a long drive. :disappointed:

Certainly don’t see anything in the air on FR24 :sleepy:

The omnishambles cluster muster which keeps on giving!

If that’s really the case I get the feeling that it may be the nail on the coffin for a number of cadets who decide to go and do something else with their time

Won’t be just cadets.

The grief it’s been to get our handful of cadets there - I can see why we’ve historically had a turnover of wing staff.

All that grief, to just upset the cadets and staff that go.

Shouldn’t have bothered.

Everyone needs to voice their complaints up through the CoC.

Photos on the RAF Cosford twitter page makes it look like there is flying happening.

I’ve certainly not heard anything negative yet from the staff from my squadron who are there.

Anyone here actually got eyes on?

There certainly was flying this morning… Chinooks up to 1700’ (as per FR24)

As per the timetable on the SMS application, the flying was meant to stop after lunch anyway.

I thought I’d seen that somewhere … but I couldn’t remember where

Might have stopped flying, as they are due aircraft flypasts, RAFAT, etc.

Anyone know anyone actually there who can get accurate info?

Raging at rumours isn’t helpful…

I’ve been talking to my Wing’s Coach IC. his response when I asked how it was going was ā€œAbsolute clusterā€

The ubiquity of that word in this organisation… Even cadets were using it over on Discord.

Here are the NOTAMs for Cosford today

So 1400Z - 1640Z formation flights followed by parachute display 1600Z - 1630Z

So 3hrs 10min of available time… not available.

Not exactly brilliant.

With the event still in draft I wonder if any VA Days will be paid out? Maybe it’s a cost saving idea, not approved - can’t pay! :rofl:

That’s why it’s a full 8 hour day no? :thinking:
