Anything older than 60 years should be considered vintage.
Just checking out that video on youtube, since I don't have the luxury of UK TV (
)
Nice.
It's true, UK and gliding scene in general, needs more young blood.
I recall one lady on trial lesson, who did mention that she's got about year or two to live, terminal cancer. When I drove her back in golf cart to her car, after we got back to launch point, she said her family were discouraging her from going up in glider.
Something, she said, she always/recently wanted to do, try out.
Of course, she enjoyed it a lot. She wasn't in 70s though, but not too young either.
I believe the advert is good publicity for gliding.
