The history of the unique 1938 Scott Viking (the last one remaining) is here:

It was good fun to watch the hand-over ceremony, and a privilige to be part of the effort to bring it back to its ‘home’, the UK. Here’s hoping it will have air under its wings soon…

Lovely! Great news that such a rare type is back home 🙂

That sounds like them, yes. They own (among other aircraft) a very nice former Air Cadets Sedbergh TX.1.

That’s a really nice glider! Love its looks 🙂
And the name Van Aalst sounds familiar. Think I made my first glider flight with his daughter in a T.21 years ago?
