Comittment. (have I spelled that correctly?)
Young Tony joined our gliding club and won a cadetship which gave him so many hours of free flying in return for labouring on the field. He bought a share in `my` Skylark 4 with the money he earned working in a Supermarket. He achieved a Silver Badge and tried to get into the Airline schemes, no luck. Whilst doing his `A` levels he converted his Silver into an SLMG licence.( At his own expense, naturally with some help from his parents) He still hopes to get into the airlines so he is now doing a course at Shoreham which will lead to a CAA Engineers ticket. I think he now has a Group A licence and must have a year to go at Shoreham.
This lad deserves to get there but whether he will or not is another matter. It certainly won`t be for want of effort on his part.
