Hello Patch,

 

Great to see vintage gliders put to good use rather than sit around in hangars 
and trailers like so many other good gliders. Congratulations to your 
initiative.

I have stayed quiet, seems whenever I mention Blaniks I'm given a hard time so 
I will keep this brief.
My Shortwing Kookaburra is now at Swan Hill GC, on loan to support them. Gary 
Crowleys is going to Millicent on the same deal. Other people have been in 
contact with me in the hope of finding a spare two seater. I am trying my 
hardest to help them. 
As I see it we have to pull together on this one.
Patch

Another SAGA club, Adelaide Hills Soaring Group has one also.

Hi Kym,

The situation with the Blanik is certainly dire, particularly if we come out
the end of the process with the aircraft permanently grounded (and that is a
real possibility).
This will also impact the "price" of the gliders.

Other Clubs in our region with Blaniks are,
        a) Alice Springs.
        b) Top End Gliding Club.
        c) Barossa Valley Gliding Club.
        d) The yet to be formally formed Coober Pedy Gliding Club, who 
           purchased the Blanik from Pt Augusta.
        e) and I think Millicent GC have one.

I am looking forward to see the outcome of your email.

With best wishes,

John Hudson.

  Hi all,
As you'd all know, Blaniks (unless they have the Llewelyn mod, and 
unless they comply with the limited -but badly worded criteria from the 
factory on the AD) are currently grounded...
Are we the only club still using a Blanik as our only trainer?  It's 
pretty hard to operate without a trainer... what are other clubs doing 
about the situation?
Thanks,
Kym.
