Went up to Tibenham today with the intention of flying their Grob 109 motorglider. The wind was too strong to safely taxi it, so I decided to go for a glider flight instead. I loved it! It was the first glider flight for five years or so and the first winch launch I'd done since around 1991! I love flying gliders, but soon remembered why I gave up flying them ... had my name on the flying list (I was the sixth on it) at 9.30 but didn't fly until 5pm! ... Sigh!

SS

Edited to add ... That said, I had two flights, one was 15mins (so a little soaring) and the other was a simulated cable break. The cost .... £12.50!
