UK two-seater fleet
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 http:/www.caa.co.uk 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 |
