Lord knows how much all this is costing, but not many Cadets are getting much flying out of it and the toy box just gets bigger and more expensive.
Vikings getting through the 'recovery' at SS but not making much progress after that.
The true ongoing cost of all this must be staggering, but the actual Cadet training flying (as was) minimal.
They will be giving 'badges' out soon for just seeing a picture of a glider !!!
Pretty sure it's only one of the airfields that he's HoE for that's non operational. Got it's planning permission in for its mighty safety fence though.
