At the risk of multiple incoming, I fear that the wood and the trees are being confused and not only by 2FTS. The sad Grob accidents were wholly outwith Air Cadet Gliding. There are certainly airworthiness and servicing issues that needed to be addressed. I don't know how many cadets have been flown/flown themselves over how many hours, and what the actual number of accidents has been, but I suspect the safety record would be the envy of many organisations. The cavalier treatment of loyal volunteer gliding instructors, and now it seem Staff Cadets, IMHO is to be deplored. We can never get back to the halcyon days, but lets get cadets back I the air. If nothing else it represents the nation putting resources into developing and maintaining air-mindedness in the young, fostering a sense of wonder and adventure - oh yes and motherhood and apple pie. Don't know where, or when, it will all end but hope to heck something good comes out at the far end
