Hi Smuj !, seem to remember "soaring" the T31 usually about half an hour in the local area was usual as there were loud voices from the ground as to "there are others who want to fly" fair enough as the fleet of 2 trainers was all we had at the time, seems we were a backwater out there as even places like St Athan for the BE's to glide they had T21, T31 Prefect and a Swallow, unable to give exact times as I lost my log books etc , they were in my deep sea boxes and the freighter carrying them home (Alacrity I think) floundered in a storm off Alexandria and went down, when the cargo was recovered many years later after it was raised (what else was on board ?) majority was destroyed through salt water so never did get anything back. such is/was life, PH
