It was written:
the Viking needs 5 or 6 and preferably 7 as a minimum. And the more Vikings that you have on the field the more people you need and more vehicles for retrieve etc


I fail to see why each glider would need an extra full complement of ground staff. Does each glider have it's own launch point caravan & winch? Maybe you would care to explain what those 7 ground staff per glider are doing? I have seen the ACO in action, they certainly didn't have that sort of number per glider to run their bit of the airfield, more like that number in total.
