Meanwhile,
Down at Membury, home of Southern Sailplanes, expansion continues. New tractors and gang mowing machines have been procured, the strip has been levelled and extended and there is now talk of a new-build hangar.
Who is funding this burgeoning business empire? We are, of course: the taxpayers. With over 20 gliders now returned to the Air Cadets, at over £100k per airframe, and more that 20 more to go through, Southern Sailplanes are laughing all the way to the bank!
You couldn't script it!
