The funding is now in place to get a good number of the Viking fleet back into service, the only question is who is going to get the contract ?

The current contractor is clearly bidding for it ( as demonstrated by the job advertising) and two others have shown an interest, my opinion of the current contractors ability to forefill the contract is based on their track record of successful glider maintenance.

One of the other potential contractors provides Grob Tutors to the RAF, at this they seem to be successful ( the propellor problems has been the result of a poor prop choice by others).

The third I know little of but seem to lack the infrastructure to start the recovery program quickly
