Except, of course, the bulk of the VGSs are now Vigilant schools (15 against 8). Going to a wholly conventional approach is going to leave large parts of the country - particularly the Midlands and the North unsupported by a gliding facility. Moreover, the general trend towards motor-gliders was out of site availability since the vigilant does not require the real estate that a Viking requires to operate. A vigilant VGS also needs fewer staff to launch, it could be done with a DI acting a crash crew leader and an additional crash crew support, plus a pilot of course.
