have to correct you there. they are maintained by regular servicemen and women, commanded with a full time JengO with a RAFVR Squadron Leader over him.
These same regulars, also maintain the other 120 or so conventional & motor gliders around the UK!
Isn't the OC CGS a regular? The Gliding Examiners of CFS certainly are.
