UK Gliders

Where's the UK Glider industry?

All gone to Slovakia?

- Like Slovakia needs UK glider industry (cough, cough), after all UK
made so many top notch machines...

$50K US affordable? Lets get the 2 seat Lark updated and back in
production. They were still selling new 10 years ago for around 25k
and they are a great machine.

Not sure of the current state of production, but $50K is affordable.
Not a K-21 or PW-6, but a whole lot better in the back seat than a
2-33.

Where are you headed with this, Jack..?

There hasn't been a UK glider industry in 30 years.

Too bad. I was hoping there was some action I hadn't heard about.

At least the US has a couple of shoe-string operations which may come to
something, some day. I'd like to see a successful affordable American
two-seater. No reason why we couldn't build something like the ASK21 to
take over the club trainer role.
