TCF - most people do understand the original 'pause'.
AFAICS - there may be at least 3 or 4 different factors to the problem...
(1) The glider fleet engineering management lost control of the situation and failed to keep up with modern MOD/MAA life.
(2) (and this has not yet been mentioned yet
AFAIK) There may be a problem with some (or most) VGS Hangars not meeting MAA standards.
(3) MOD are desperate to save money and may want to decrease the number of Gliding Units down to ??? (insert your own guess).
(4) Some of the maintenance 'errors' highlighted are a bit of a red herring and the situation could have been partly eased by the application of good common sense engineering quite quickly.
However because of the various agendas at play - I really do not think that 'They' want the situation sorted quickly - as I posted previously they in effect dismantled the old system by grounding all the aircraft and completely ignoring the VGS volunteers,they can now take as much time as they like to decide how many Gliding units will emerge in the future.
