SGC - Firle
I started gliding atSGCs old site at Firle Beacon, before they moved to Parham in the 70's. Flew their old Swallow and once (at Parham) got a vertical line on the bargraph as I rocketed it up from 800' to 7500' in a stonking thermal.
Is that Swallow still there?
Gliding is a great way to fly - but I have found that some people in UK gliding clubs can be very officious and there's less freedom to be a pilot than in power flying. For power, I can exercise the responsibilities of my licence with far less hassle.
I''ve got a bronzze C and Silver height - alos PPL (A) with tailwheel endorsement
