The thread seems to have been thoroughly hijacked, so:
Gliders in the 1950's and '60s landed out much more frequently, and so 'interesting' stories were more common. One pilot landing in the grounds of a stately home was invited to have a restorative drink until the crew arrived. An hour or two later the butler announced 'The gentleman's crew has arrived'. Certainly, said the Duke of B...., give him refreshment in the servants' quarters while we finish here. "Certainly, my lord, I will show Sir Roger Conant to the servants' quarters.". A slight rearrangement of the hospitality was arranged.
Meanwhile, how can pressure be applied to give today's youth the introduction to gliding my generation had, leading in my case to 59 years (and still counting) of an enthralling pastime.
