Adventures of a Half-Baked Chicken Hearted Granny Glider Pilot
My first book, now out of print. That was 25 years ago. Until April this year, I was still a fully qualified gliding instructor at Shenington Gliding Club, and also Tugmaster, with 3,000 hours acquired since turning 50.
That's l,800 hours in gliders, and 1,200 in power, including IR and Seaplane ratings! Also represented the UK in the SOVIET UNION!! in the Women's European Championships held in 1989.
OK, I am not very photogenic any more, at 77, but I can still fly very well indeed, thank you. My longest flight in the UK was 8 hr. 53 minutes, doing a task of 511 k from HB in a regional competition. Etc etc etc.
The quacks took away my JAR Class II in April, after a replacement knee op had an unexpected complication. !!!! happens. But still flying with a safety pilot, so there. If you have a Silver certificate you too can enjoy an advanced soaring lesson with me. Guarantee an exhilarating time!
