The threads on the Blanik AD and Club Training Gliders made me wonder about
the make-up of the UK fleet. A quick search of the UK civil register
produced the following numbers:
ASK13 101 aircraft
ASK21 73
Duo Discus 45
G103 29
Puchacz 27
DG500 22
K7 17
DG1000 10
Blanik L13 9 (plus one L23)
Bocian 8
PW-6 3

For information on other types, or more details on the above, go to the
G-INFO database at

If you want information on antiques such as the T21 or the T49 Capstan you
will have to ask the BGA. These old aircraft are not on the main
register.

Note that not all these gliders are used for club training. Some,
notably recent high performance and elderly wooden ones, are privately
owned and are used for recreational flying only.

This may explain the UK views on training and the grounding of the Blaniks
