Meanwhile in Australia...
The AAFC, a youth development program supported by Air Force, was in the process of receiving 22 new gliders – 11 ASK-21 Mi self-launching gliders and 11 DG 1001 Club soaring gliders.
Commander AAFC, Group Captain (AAFC) Greg Williamson said seven ASK-21 Mi self-launching gliders were currently spread across AAFC units in Stonefield South Australia, Bathurst NSW and Warwick Queensland.
Four more were due to be handed over to units in Point Cook in Victoria and Charters Towers Queensland by the middle of 2015.
They seemed to be able to aquire new gliders while in the uk we still fart about with old a/c - presumably spending a small (or large ?) fortune pi55ing in the wind against mounting paperwork
