"....the return to service rate will accelerate."
I don't mean to sound pedantic, but as thus far ZERO Vikings have been returned to service, surely the ' return to service' process needs to start before it can accelerate?
And, judging by some comments on here, huge damage to the VGS organisation has already been done.
It really is a damn shame. I had my first-ever flight in an ATC T-21 more than 40 years ago, as (I suspect) did many others on here. It was at Tangmere, and the cable broke at 400ft. Great fun, and as we swept down for a graceful landing I knew then that flying was what I wanted to do.
I feel very sorry for all the cadets who haven't flown in a glider over the last 18 months.
