The RAF element of JEFTS is to cease to be in July 2003, bringing to an end what will have been a 5 year stay at Church Fenton. The reason behind the move is that the RAF has identified a large surplus of flying hours at its UASs around the country, so it has decided to move all Direct Entry training to the UASs. As a result the RAF part of the contract with Babcock-HCS will not be renewed, although the Army and Navy training with JEFTS (to be re-named DEFTS) at Barkston Heath will continue.
