My point LJ is that Air Cadet Gliding has an excellent record which you confirm in your post.
Sad though it was the Glider collision (as were most of the other non glider incidents) not Tech based, therefore the actual record shows the organisation to be fit for purpose on that score.
When you then consider the operation is in the main run by w-end staff most of whom do not have a service flying background then it makes the organisation seem pretty fit for purpose by any standards.
The grounding was made on tech grounds and has had a severe impact on the organisation. I suggest that had there been some cooperation with the BGA/RAFGSA as parties with similar equipment then a better solution could have been arrived at that did not require such a damaging effect on the organisation.
