A few years ago, TV's National Geographic Channel produced a wonderful film in their "Quest" series - "Wind Born: Journey into Flight".
First part is the introduction to her gliding first-solo for sixteen-year-old Lucy, young member of the Philip Wills dynasty, by her father, in New Zealand.
Second part follows an extraordinary flight by Lucy and her father, in a high-performance sailplane, accompanied by another, along the length of the Southern Alps, past Mount Cook, to Milford Sound.
Magical filming. Find it if you can.
