Scheibe Falkes and Schleicher ASK-21s are still in production. Indeed the RAFGSA is taking delivery of brand new Turbo Falkes at present. No need for these as they're being used as glider tugs as well, but the normal rotax 912 variants are less than £100k each.

I'm sure, after 18 months, we could have had some brand spanking new Falkes and K-21s to fly the Cadets in. Grob aren't the only guys in this game and as well as the others I've mentiomed there is also Diamond Dimonas to comsider as well.
