Ok, how about Usk for gliding? Or maybe Llanbedr, Aberporth, Mona or Valley? Sounds like a bit of a drama in NI though! However, let's face it, to start a gliding strip froms scratch you only need ~20-30 acres of flat and well-drained land. Surely there must be somewhere suitable???
Anyway, it's all academic as the decision has been made and even if gliders were ordered now they wouldn't be here in numbers until 2018. If only we had something to celebrate on that date for the roll out of an expansion of Air Cadet gliding again...
