Eyesfront- You'll be amazed to know Brian House is
still flying! Retired from his life as a vet, but last I heard, still going strong
John Stride was a really really nice chap 100% committed to ATC gliding, and an excellent Instructor. He was the senior gentleman on sundays for what seemed like hundreds of years! A bit supersticious(?), He would never talk about mishaps and accidents until the hangar doors were laced up(!), but then he had some stories
His son Andy, became a good mate of mine, and was also a G1 with me, before leaving to join the RAF. Had some great nights out with him too! A very good pilot as well! Anyone know his whereabouts?
As to 308, those numbers appear in my logbook
many times
It's very frustrating sitting here without my photo albums and logbooks
...can't wait to get home in month or so
Though the next problem will be buying a negative/print scanner without breaking the bank, oh, and finding the time to scan them all
