All gliding clubs would welcome Air Cadets, except they would have to deny any relationship between joining the club and being in the Air Cadets!!

It would have been much less expensive (than this debacle) if HQAC/ACO had made money available to offer suitably qualified (and enthusiastic) cadets the opportunities to fly with either the GSA or BGA gliding clubs, rather akin to Flying Scholarships (from which I benefited many years ago). Having said that the hoops that the clubs would have to jump through are getting bigger and more frequent

The clubs are lacking these youngsters and whilst many offer special rates to their juniors it is the current youth element that will help drive the clubs in the future.

JM you should be ashamed of what you have achieved as there appears to have been no attempts at a quick workaround despite your many promises of working 24/7 to solve the issue.

Three serviceable airframes in two years!! The Chinese would have carved 70 airframes out of solid GRP in this time
