	University Air Squadrons Study: 10 Oct 2005: Written Ministerial Statements (TheyWorkForYou.com) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Presently, the main university air squadron roles are to attract high calibre graduates into the RAF and to deliver the RAF's elementary flying training task.
		The study concluded that university air squadrons should continue to play an important role in engaging university students in RAF experience, but their focus should subtly shift to put more effort into leadership and personnel development training, nurturing recruitment to all branches.
		University air squadrons will now be able to concentrate on the recruitment and personal development of all potential officers regardless of branch preference.

		RAF Leuchars near St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland is an operational Royal Air Force station housing three Panavia Tornado F.3 units, a Gazelle AH.1 equipped Army Air Corps Flight and a University Air Squadron flying the Grob Tutor T.1.
		Squadron's all-fl anniversary aircraft which one press report states was ordered out of public view by "Senior RAF Officers" because the colour scheme was unauthorised.
		The Polish Air Force made what is hopefully the first on many visits to a Leuchars show with a MiG-29A flown by in an impressive display of raw power, noise and smoky Tumansky throttle changes which was later repeated to cover one of the cancelled slots.

	IN MY OPINION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The development of this system created a new position in the Air Force––the GLCM flight commander, whose main duty is to lead a tactical nuclear missile convoy to various remote locations in a foreign country during times of increased world tensions.
		At Air University's Squadron Officer School, the following leadership skills are assessed: organizing, planning, motivation, acceptance of responsibility, flexibility, willingness to lead, interpersonal skills, and forcefulness.
		Whether the Air Force chooses the Air University approach, which could easily be adapted by the Leadership and Management Development Center, or the model used by the Army's Fort Benning Assessment Center, there is a need for the assessment center approach in the leadership selection process of today's modern Air Force.

		Later, the visiting Tornado of 617 Squadron passed over and, by mid afternoon, we were rewarded by watching the last remaining Lancaster, "City of Lincoln", going to make his awaited debut for a crowd of some 80,000 people at the Dams, where the crews had learned their skills for this epic raid.
		Later on, with the inauguration in 1941 of the Air Training Corps, led by the leaders of industry, this became the feeder ground for volunteers for Bomber Command, Coastal Command, and other duties where flying was involved.
		Here the work really started; doing Air Force Law, Signals, Navigation, Meteorology, and other subjects, and if you failed in any subjects, that was the end of your chance to become a pilot, but not the chance to fly in other capacities, as navigator, bomb aimer or air gunner.

		There are 14 University Air Squadrons spread throughout the UK, each one linked to several universities within 50 or so miles of its airfield.
		They were set up as early as 1925 by Lord Trenchard, the 'Father’ of the modern Royal Air Force and they provide free flying as well as opportunities for adventurous and leadership training for selected undergraduates.
		Whilst at University they are enlisted as Officer Cadets (OCs) and receive a bursary, which varies in value according to Branch, on the understanding that they will, on satisfactory completion of their degree studies and UAS training, join the RAF for at least a short term commission (minimum 6 years ground, or 12 years flying).
