Danny,
It translates to " a man of many talents " (Latin) so not too far out. Having managed a full Silver Gliding certificate, I can tell you that your description of that landing owed more to flying experience than the standard "patter" I received. The point being, on my first solo, it strikes me that had I been low, and out of position, I certainly would not have ended up "adjacent to the launch point" or anywhere near. Its a shame your Gliding escapades were cut short, many have been, me included. I can though relate to your first solo arrival, just wish mine had been so precise
