Whatever happened to the Vanguard?

Can anyone shed some light on what happened to the Vanguard? I had a week at Syerston with John Wynch on one in 1983.

He told me they were to be the new Glider for the cadets, but next thing I heard was that they had placed a big order for Grobs.

It was a brand new machine I was on, no pilots notes or anything. John Wynch said that he was writing them as he taught me!

They also had a Janus, but that was an instructors toy, as was the single seater, cant remember what that one was, an ASK 13 perhaps??

Anyway, always wondered why the Vanguard disappeared.
