Vince,
I am a professional gliding instructor at the Scottish Gliding Centre (based at Portmoak, near Kinross) and this week had the pleasure of flying with Derek and Mo Jones, well known in the helicopter world, having a holiday gliding. As is my usual practice I have an earpiece and listen out on the Scottish frequency, the glider radio is set to the local gliding site frequency and I have a hand-set as back-up, usually monitoring the standard glider cross-country frequency.
During your “Triumphal” progress across the Scottish TMA, I heard the whole transgression, but did not make the connection with your arrival near Dundee.
This is not Biggles, but Flashman, bravado is no substitute for skill or experience.
So far the CAA has not promoted capital punishment for digressions; in this case I wonder how few would say nay?
If you want to fly agian, what we need to addess is what is go on in your head.
Their are lots of instuctors who can help, just because you have the money and the "CHAT" dosn't mean you cam fly.
My advice, get a good instrcutor, put your lip (ego) in a vice for a while, go gliding (no engine) open your ears; do it soon, because, very soon you will no longer be a problem to the rest of us; because you will be dead.
The tree stuff, "Biggles" may have fooled the press, but not us, just go way.
Chris
p.p.s. Or very soon you shall be dead, no BS, just dead.
