JDK,
I'm not a hundred percent sure about this but I think that the skies over your head will soon be bereft of our unpowered friends. If I've got the right end of the stick (usually I get the unfragrant end) The RAF Gliding chaps are upping sticks and moving to Halton. Which is why the Windrushers are trying to get established before the Nimby's put a crimp in their style.
