With regard to documentation, isn't one of the issues that there is no maintenance history beyond three years old? as that was mandated by the MAA? why only keep records for three years? is it because if something goes wrong outside of that timeline then no one can be held accountable.
And as far as maintenance of these gliders and motorgliders goes, all the MAA had to state was that they're to be maintained in line with EASA for the aircraft type and the manufacturer's service and repair instructions.
Civvy aircraft have their engine and airframe logbooks going back to the time they left the factory - way beyond three years.
It really ought to be the many parents of the cadets asking the questions to the PM as, as we've seen, asking MP's gets the usual answer that everything's in hand - several thousand parents writing to the PM and (copying national newspapers) asking why their children have been flown in aircraft with a dodgy maintenance history is a surefire way of bringing it in to the public domain.
If the Vigilants are to be disposed of they would realise £15K-30K each, 20-30 sold would go some way to paying for the Vikings to be 'recovered'.
Referring to my previous post - anybody up for a lottery on when Vigilants and Vikings will be disposed of because ultimately that's what's going to happen.
