There was/is a trial in progress using dayglo markings
on Grob Acros (Vikings) used by the Air Cadets. The
controlling authority for the aircraft is HQ Air Cadets
at RAF Cranwell. I do not know if there are any results
yet, the gliders look very garish and are easy to see
on the ground from the air. I have to say that it does
not appear to make them anymore visible when they are
flying unless they are already close enough to see
easily anyway.

Can anyone point me to where I might find a report

recent (so I'm told) study into the effectiveness of
anti-collision/High
Visibility markings on Gliders? I believe the study
is UK or European,
but any info would be appreciated.
