VX275,
What exactly is an 'ageing aircraft audit'? How old did you have to be to get one if you were a glider. The Civil side of gliding never had anything like that when I was flying. Following Cof A our machines were deemed to be good as new. Was this 'audit' a kind of super CofA? What sort of defects were found that justified grounding or was it just the paperwork irregularities.
PS who is this 'Pippa'? If he/she was indeed derelict in his/her duty here, why has there been no penalty.
