Having planned a weeks gliding at Kirknewton it would appear there is some sort of dispute with Edinburgh ATC.
Possibly the wettest month of the year half way up a cold damp Scottish hill very close to a major international airport and paperwork not in order. If you were trying to sabotage the operation it would be difficult to do a better job.
It's a shame the men from Colditz have passed they were on track to get a glider in the air against impossible odds. This should be a walk in the park!!!
The real casualties are the cadets, hanging around trying to fly waiting for weather is bad enough without being tripped up constantly.
I'm very happy for my tax to be used for the air cadets, squandering it with no results needs invesigation.
Has anybody worked out how much per hour it will eventually cost? Probably cheaper to hire a gold plated Lear Jet.
