More likely these gliders or parts of them will reappear as 'repaired' gliders. Its not unusual for badly broken gliders to be used for spares, a wing here, a tailplane there, even sizable sections of fuselages being spliced together. Otherwise their identities will be swapped with those of already wrecked gliders which will take to the air again in the near future after 'a protracted rebuild'.
