Read back through the thread and you will find that mentioned several times that Schleicher didn't want the business when they were procuring the gliders, and if will take years for them to get 70+ gliders built by Schleicher. It's a 30+ year old design and the serial number on our brand new one is under 1,000.

The quote for our new one was just over EU93k, then VAT has to be paid and the glider imported into the UK.
