G'Day Bernard,
The AAFC (and the AIRTC before them) are a unit within the RAAF (they
come under Vice Chief of the Air Force, IIRC).
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

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?
Kind regards to all
Bernard

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.
Kind regards
Justin

Good morning all
Judging by two recent telephone calls there appears to be some
misinformation in gliding circles
on the latest Australian Air Force order for new training aircraft.
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.
Kind regards to all
Bernard
