There are an awful lot of Vigilant drivers, past and present who would be very interested in this topic.
I agree there are many more suitable aircraft than the Vigilant. However, it has to be put into the context of what the choice was at the time and the politics - background of the VGS's is Gliding.
Will you approach the CAA? If you get the present ruling overturned, there will be a lot of happy people out there.
If not would you be prepared to support this move?
