Shock horror, I was spotted in a glider!!! Flying between Benton and Brize Norton....
Entering a barrel roll

Right side up

Gratuitous sunshine shot

But the English weather gets past the sunshine

Those trees are getting bigger v.quickly

Flintstone style braking (your feet)

Fall over onto one wing drunk

nice shots Mark...i know the 'tree-are-getting-bigger-really-fast'-feeling very well.

maybe i'll fly my first solo flight in a real glider later this month...i hope the trees won't grow too fast then

Great shoots...

Good luck on the solo Ken One tip, wear leather gloves, you'll be able to hold onto the stick without being overly tight on the controls. The first solo is always a sweaty palms job

Hi Mark...!

Well flippin' well.. ...!

I can see you are coming round to my way of flying at last... ...!
Microlights and flexwings next on the list...?..... ...!

LOL...!

Cheers mate...happy soaring... ..!

Paul.

P.S.   I'm a bit worried about the lack of a motor up at the pointy end tho'... ...!

Tell me about it Paul, its the whole lack of an engine thing that keeps me off gliders these days. I flew them as an Air Cadet many millenia ago, but after discovering the joys of the de Havilland Chipmunk and how much more scary fun you could have with an engine..... and live to tell the tale of course

Mark
