Emilis,I read with interest your first email under this title, it certainly has caused some response.
The data you seek is on the CASA website and has been for years. I'm sure if you download the file you can mess with it to your hearts content :-) As a taster I did a couple of pie charts (attached, only 20k so dialups should be OK).
If we want to put an arbitrary age on "modern" gliders, say less than 20 years old, we do appear to be in a parlous state. 132 gliders and 98 motor gliders out of a total of aout 1150 aircraft. There are a lot of old gliders in Australia.

I am pleased that the list is fulfilling its purpose - discussion amongst people widely separated across the continent. While I fully understand the desire to offer today's capability the sport has, I am looking for insights as to how people are making the transition. Without which there may be a small sport. (GFA had aspirations of membership of about 2000 by 2010)(the comp scene suggests a sport size of 500)With the absence of a YearBook, I can't track for myself - how many gliders in the overall fleet today are <10, <20, <30 years old.
