Gents,
Might I request some help from the excellent PPrune community?
I'm trying to put together a timeline and some reasons for how the ACO glider fleet came to get where it has ended up, and there are (not surprisingly) some fairly big gaps in my knowledge. So, could anyone help me with the following:
1, When the 145 strong fleet of Vikings and Vigilants was purchased? Previous post indicated that it was a 'rush job' to use an in-year underspend - can anyone tell me what year that was?
2. Can anyone confirm who issued the Certificates of Design for the aircraft - Grob or Marshalls?
3. Can anyone tell me who issued the first editions of the RTS for these aircraft?
4. Was a repair manual (Topic 6) actually issued for the aircraft?
I'd be really grateful for any answers, PMs are fine if preferred.
Best Regards as ever to all out there on PPrune who care,
Engines
