I'm sure Cats Five gliding club did not put their problem glider back in the hands those who messed up, it is vital that the RAF don't try to use the contractors who have failed to maintain the glider fleet in the past.
Thanks, and we certainly didn't, and won't in future!
However I don't think you need someone skilled in glider maintenance etc. to oversee the program to get the Vikings in the air again. IMHO you need a good manager with good people skills. If they are being paid to do that, that should be sufficient motivation unless of course they are being paid peanuts.
