Longest flight

Longest duration 10 hours 45 minutes, covering about 348 kilometres rather slowly in Scotland (4.7.87).

Longest distance that counts - about 500 kilometres - Essex to Yorkshire and back (took 8 hours 16 minutes) (13.6.96).

Longest this year - 5 hours 25 minutes, covering 271 km (21.7.02) in Devon/Dorset.

Not particularly remarkable for glider flights, except that they were in a Ka6E (1968-built wood/fabric glider, well outclassed by today's designs).
