Unlike the Army, which had units/corps that had been afforded Royal Title, only the RAAF as a whole were given the "Royal" treatment. regards, Lucas On 28/01/14 09:01, Future Aviation wrote: Hi Justin Please accept my apology, but in all correspondence relating to this contract there is only a reference to the "Australian Air Force Cadets". I can't explain why not a single document was referring to the Royal Australian Air Force. Can you explain that?

Cc: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] unsubstantiated rumours Bernard, If you are going to be precise about information on this site and others, would you kindly refer to the organisation you and your business is supporting as the Royal Australian Air Force as that. It is not the australian air force, it is the RAAF. Many men and women have died fighting for this country in activities associated with aeroplanes whilst serving in the RAAF, you do them a great disservice by flippantly not getting details correct in correspondence attempting to address rumour and innuendo.

The following is fact - the rest is unsubstantiated rumours:  The Air Force has ordered 11 (eleven) Schleicher ASK 21 Mi for basic training of cadets  All of these gliders are self launchers and come with trailers  The aircraft will be based at four different training centres throughout the country  Deliveries begin in August of 2014 and the contract includes shipping, registration, aircraft inspection, delivery and operator training To ensure that the rumour mill doesn't spread further let me point out that a previous order for pure sailplanes from dg was not cancelled.
