'New' Vigilant
A very interesting picture of the revised Vigilant.
It is interesting to note that it is in the very configuration (Glass cockpit and Rotax engine) that we had put forward just before the grounding (I refuse to call it 'pause'!).
At that time funds had already been allocated for re-engineing and an effort was being made for the instruments to be upgraded for the Vigilant MkII.
As for the accommodation issue, all the remaining VGS sites are having/had accommodation built on-site. Little Rissington had a new block built a few years ago (on the site of the Control Tower, which is where I stayed when on the unit). This was for 637 VGS and now that 621 VGS has not been able to move to an airfield in its traditional area, it is having its own buildings.
