With it's solo student pilot keeping an eye on the ball - Southampton University Air Squadron Grob Tutor G.115E G-BYVA turns onto finals to Boscombe Down's enormous hard runway

 

Carrying UK civil markings under a PFA run by Babcock, these UAS Tutors operate from there using either the parallel grass runway or the concrete depending on the task in hand and traffic

 

Replacing the Scottish Aviation Bulldog the Tutor has been in service as the RAF's elementary trainer for the last 20 years along with providing Air Experience and in use by the University Air Squadrons but is now gradually being replaced by the new Grob Prefect - now coming into fleet-wide service
