Spotted on another forum;
it would be useful to let people know that the Dept for Transport publish, on a monthly basis, all grants/expenditure over £25k. In their Feb 2020 spreadsheet you will find a Grant to Aerobility to refurbish Vigilant gliders of £745,000.
What a pity that nobody associated with air cadet flying could have been bothered to bid for this grant!
Looking at that spreadsheet, it is interesting to note that they give Bristow Helicopters in the region of £16M each month for SAR provision. Can this be right?
