Vikings returned to service yet?
...and what news on the Vikings that were in the care of Southern Sailplanes, are they flying again? Have they even been picked up yet?
Or are they still bogged down in the paperwork at Syerston?
I take my hat off to the many boys and girls in the VGS system (the V standing for Volunteers) who appeared to have been given the mushroom treatment.
They give up (have given up) much time in getting cadets off the ground, safely for many years, with very little thanks from above. On the regular visits from ACCGS there is no acknowledgement of the volunteer status of these youngsters. I wonder how many will be left after this debacle? Will they still want to work with people at the top who have clearly lost the plot?
Well done the members of the VGS organisation, officers, civilian instructors and staff cadets. I salute you.
