Fantastic pics - reminds me of my youth too !
I flew almost all of the Air Cadet stuff then as a cadet and later, instructor:
Grasshopper
Swallow
Sedbergh
Cadet Mk111
Venture
Vigilant
Valiant
Viking
and even the Vanguard - remember her (what a babe - made the Viking seem a real dog by comparison)
Missed the Prefect sadly.........
I think we've seen the best of Air Cadet gliding though IMHO.
