Thanks for the update LJ! Sounds like an adjustment of the regs at the lower end may be needed.
I well remember the Vikings all being grounded along with the Vigis during the ash-cloud debacle and wondering how on earth the RAF could justify that on 'risk' grounds?? Still, it's their train set and I hope they care enough about cadet gliding to make some practical allowances for the reality of the new structure.
