Midlands Gliding Club,Moffat Field,Gwelo,Zimbabwe.

We used fencing wire (loads of cable breaks LOL) for winch launching 2 Blaniks,1 swallow,1 Skylark 3b,1 Dart 15.
Lovely flying conditions sometimes - my best climb was from 600' (in the cct) up to 11,000' AGL in the old Skylark.
In the summer I only worked until 1.00pm (too hotnbumpy for jets) and quite often went gliding to utilise some of those 'bumps'

Have you flown in africa ?
