When I started gliding again in zimbabwe in 1984 there was much mirth in the gliding club bar when they saw my 300 odd launches with a TT of 25.00 hrs.
They were also confused by the P2 rating (why do you need a qualification to be a P2 ? a very reasonable question LOL) ,my P2 chit was still stuck into my logbook,my G1 chit had already fallen out.
Once I had learned how to thermal upwards my TT rapidly increased
