No news frustrations!!

I share the frustrations of the majority of posters on this thread as to how long the "powers that be" can sit on their hands in trying to sort this bebacle out. It should not be rocket science!!

Without ploughing through this lengthy thread looking for the reason as to why it could not be done I still think the answer is to put these gliders/motor gliders on the civil register. The VGS instructors could all be recategorised in accordance with the BGA instructor ratings. They may need to add an intermediate category to cover circuit instruction only

The equipment would then have some value in the future if some of the kit became surplus to requirements, without potential new owners having to jump through the hoops of transferring the current aircraft to civil registration. (They may need to convert the new winches back to gas though )
