Well, I have done it!! My first glider launch since those heady Farnborough days of my youth!! (Cody was still using his tree when I was there

)
As you so kindly predicted, it was absolutely great, fantastic, incredible. I don't think I have landed yet!! My most grateful thanks to a very kind, even flattering, instructor, but I did remember a lot more than I expected. Especially all the hanging around windy airfields, having a good gossip with the friendly club members
So, I am now determined to continue and the poor old doggies may have to go without bones occasionally to finance the learning process.
Thank you again for your support ... I will update now and again, but do let me know if I turn into a gliding bore
