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

NZ looks a bit different:

Blanik: 11
Grob G103(A): 10
Duo Discus: 11
ASH25: 8
Grob Twin Astir: 7
ASK13: 6
K7: 5
Janus: 5
DG-1000: 3
Puchacz: 3
ASK21: 2
PW-6: 2
Stemme: 2
Grob G109: 2
DG500: 1


By far the most numerous are the various flavours of Grobs, followed
by Blanik and Duo.

A lot (all?) of the Duos are privately owned or used for commercial
rides not training.

The DG1000s are all club owned and used for training, as of course are
most or all of the K7, ASK13, Blanik and Grobs.
