Conversion to (say) K21's would not be difficult as they are easy to fly.

PS forgot to add - they could be bog standard airframes on civvy reg as well.
The airframes for the current gliders should have been bog standard.

But why put new gliders into storage? The problem is it will be a very slow drip - 1 or 2 per year.
