My lad has finally lost the passion and banged out.
The final straw was missing out on his only chance to fly this year. They had jacked up a jolly in a Merlin as part of spring camp, but it went tits on start. He was absolutely gutted.
He has now joined the civvy gliding club up the road. £50 membership, £3 per launch, air-time and instruction free! He has a smile on his face again.
