>The Vigilant has given great service, but we have used it more like a light aircraft than a glider in ACO flying; the additional Tutors will partially replace this<

However it was used, we did at least train cadets to solo standard in it and habitually sent real solos in it. Additional Tutor flying may have a value but it will not replace the Vigilant since by definition, "air experience" flying cannot replace "training".
