Danny,
" To cut a short story long, I kept the brakes in and tightened up a bit, but even so I just managed to scrape in, coming to rest exactly abeam the official timekeeper's trestle. This saved people having to push me back, and of course left it in the ideal spot for the next chap to climb in and the wire to be hooked-up. But that wasn't exactly the idea, of course."
Or could your previous experience in aviating aluminium around the atmosphere have given you that "sharp edge" to drop it on a sixpence? As a glider pilot, slightly later than your emergence as an engineless aviator, I suspect that, as you advised me in the past, flying is flying. Great seeing some gliding coming in, RAF Germany had some great clubs in my time, any info on thermal or wave flying in Germany in your time would be interesting. Another smashing post, and more service flying options.
