Solo Stats
Squawking 7700,
The Air Cadets achieved 1386 1st solos in 2011.
The Olympics in 2012 skewed figures (some VGSs were temporarily closed over the summer) and I don't have the figure for 2013. Someone else might though.
The target for 2014 (pre-grounding) was for 2077 Gliding Scholarships, not all of which would have resulted in 1st solos (Silver Wings). The 'hit rate' is typically around 75-80%.
