I think it changed to CBSITCB circa 1971 (At Air Cadet Gliding Schools).
It then changed to CBSIFTCB (Flaps)
Then later 'E' was added (Eventualities)
I have very recently returned to gliding after a long break and the one thing I was confident that I could remember was CBSIFTCBE.
Well blow me down they changed it the day before my first flight
- ok that put paid to me sounding confident with pre flight checks
It is currently CBSIFTBEC
