Excellent! I'm a bit jealous.  :P

I had a massive itch to go gliding the other day, unfortunately I wont even have the chance until summer comes. However, I do plan on taking some lessons and getting my Glider rating over the summer. ;D

Wonderful shots...very nice... ;)

Must be a little cold in those gliders now though or do you folks have Air Force Winter Kit supplied?   :)

The "Pub", I was talking to a friend who just came back from England and he said that many of the pubs are closing because of stiffer drinking fines, I suppose he meant drinking and driving and public intoxication.  He did not elaborate.
Here they are going to zero tolerance for drinking and driving and the public wants a jail term for first time offenders plus loss of licence for two years.  It will hurt a lot of pubs and be a wake up call for a good many drinking drivers.

Again great shots.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
