We were making a documentary regarding a young man who sadly had a terminal illness. He had a passion for flying but had never been in a light aircraft.

We arranged for a flight in a training glider, but our insurance company would not insure the flight as they understood that the flight controls were mechanically linked and the seating arrangement would not allow the pilot to regain control should the lad have made “inappropriate inputs”.(suicide-murder)
