Air Cadets Grounded

I agree with you Dave, a very sad state of affairs for the future of Air Cadet gliding.

I flew with the Air Cadets many moons ago and worked my way from Staff Cadet to CFI at one of the schools. We volunteers worked long and hard with very little thanks from on high. My feeling is that if this "pause" had happened during my time the morale of the staff and cadets would have been at an all time low, whatever the reason.

It would seem that the 3 Grob Viking gliders that were damaged in 1990 when the hangar at Predannack collapsed did better than the rest of the Air Cadet fleet!! I recently flew one of them and it flew very well.
