My "you couldn't script it" merely refers to the fact that we, the taxpayers, are shelling out over £100k per glider to get them back into service. They didn't cost anywhere near that when purchased new!
I'm interested - where does the figure of £100,000 per aircraft come from (and where is the money going ?).
Regarding the misinformation a little way back by 1.3VS, a photo was posted on Facebook by a glider pilot this week of Membury Airfield,
and my guess is that the grey areas each side of runway 13/31 (the solar farm) provide a more accurate answer as to how the investment in the airfield is funded.
