The correct aeroplane was there all along - the ASK13 - it had mid range performance, a closed canopy, would have fitted the maintenance model, was the right price and would still have been in service today with no issues................ it was even in licence production with Jubi as well as Scheicher themselves. Note that a ready spares pipeline would be available as Scheicher are still trading (strongly) today (unlike Grob).

No idea why we never brought it.

The A/C type is irrelevant - if we'd bought them they'd be grounded too for the same reasons
