Beat me to it!

It doesn’t appear to be a grounding of the G115 type, at the moment there’s one buzzing about near DUX.

The one flying around at the minute is ex-Tayside Aviation and is currently decked out in “Grob Aircraft” colours.

Wonder if it’s being used as a test platform?

Pretty sure thats “just” a civvie G115 and not affected by the RAF/6FTS Pause

Suggestion that any investigation will take at least a week.

Dunno any of the circumstances.

Pending the return to flying, cadets may subscribe to this new PTS activity - there is no Blue / Bronze or Silver, you start at Gold+++ :smiling_face_with_horns:

All 6FTS Tutor flying has been paused UFN. Unfortunately I’m not at liberty to post the reason on a public forum at this time, sorry folks.

Hopefully we should hear more mid to end of next week.

Is it looking like weeks, months or years?

In honesty, I haven’t got a clue. Sorry.

Appreciate the comms anyway!

Are we likely to get more details through official channels?

There’s no more details to give at this point.

Not sure what quoting my post means in conjunction to your post.

Please accept my sincere apologies old chap for I simply copy and pasted to begin a search in the engine of Google. I may have left your quote within adding the image from thy Face of Book which I sneakily obtained a screenshot.

I do hope you can forgive me and reduce my sentence from public flogging to merely a warning of “Try and not do that again”

Your embarrased fellow forum user

I mean, obviously there is more information floating about about the potential problem, it’s just that no one wants to tell us.

I’m assuming that the crabs haven’t just just decided to bin everything off for a giggle, or to bump up the stats for Operation Destroy Long Weekend, so there’s obviously something that happened/got noticed at Cosford, that was serious enough to ground the Tutor fleet as a precaution.

It does seem a little pathetic to not just say what it is, as doubtless anyone who might be in a position to know/understand is being privately badgered by everyone effected, which is probably creating more work dealing with than just a simple ‘we found a potential problem with X widget’, or ‘we found a potential problem in the fatigue recording system…

This isn’t the readiness stats on the Typhoon fleet.

Maybe a prop fell off… again.

Nothing juicy on pprune and egoat seems practically dead in general tbh.

The last bad one I saw was an oil leak that covered the canopy, but that was some time ago! Unless it’s happened again!
