JUST GLIDING

Flying has not stopped 'just Gliding'

Just about summs up the current thinking in the organisation.

Lets be clear Gliding was the Corps USP where a youngster from any average background had the opportunity to be taught to fly on his own and gain a BGA certificate (the only qualification in the gliding world)
All other flying in the organisation is a 'ride' and in most cases other than Tutor no handling.
Not to belittle any flying but lets be clear it is not what the ATC was special for.

All thrown away by staggering incompetence, and a lack of leadership at the top.
